Slayley Green in Barlborough usually bursts into flower in March with the thousands of daffodils planted by Friends of Barlborough volunteers as part of the Marie Curie Field of Hope bulb planting project.

This year the Spring warmth is much delayed and we are well into April before the Green has come alive.

Field of Hope

The project was made possible through the generosity of Dobbies Garden Centre.

“We were delighted to be able to donate 6,000 daffodil bulbs to the local community of Barlborough and to continue the tradition of previous years.

Day 102

April 12, 2010

Well it’s back to the gym today.

Fortunately our gym is in a beautiful local school Mount St Mary’s College which was first founded by Jesuit fathers at Stanley Grange near Derby in 1620. After numerous changes, the College in it’s present form and location was formally opened in 1842. The College buildings date, in part, from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Joseph Hansom, an architect and inventor of the Hansom Cab, built the first College buildings in 1840. One of it’s more famous pupils was J C Bamford who gave his initials to the JCB.

The college is looking beautiful this spring. The sky is almost as blue as in Freo !
