for work undertaken by German exchange apprentices.
Thanks to the German exchange apprentices from Rolls Royce, our very large water tank was emptied and turned into storage space. They also repaired our back gates and made them more secure. They laid two brick paths in-between our vegetable beds and cleared a lot of rubbish. They also loved Bird's cream cakes.
