Eric Avenier has returned to work after furlough, but still found time to cut all the grass in the orchard and strim all our garden, ready for our pupils’ return.  This is a huge area to maintain and Eric has devoted so much of his time, this Spring and Summer,  to making it beautiful for us.

Our wee ones are really enjoying the bigger area to play and run in our garden, and the castle and stage/blackboard area that Eric created for us are in constant use.  The willow tunnel looks amazing after it’s major surgery and the flowers that Emile and Eric planted for us are blooming.

In our playground, Eric’s planters are full of climbers which soften the look of the metal fence and are lovely and colourful.  He has planted laurel trees on the other side of the playground to provide a nice green background.  The playhouse and wee bus he created last term are firm favourites with our wee people.

We are so lucky to have such amazing outdoor spaces and that Eric has given his time, energy and expertise to making them so special.

A big thank you from all the children and staff of our nursery and our school to Eric!
