| Five very proud children |
Having been invited to the Opening Ceremony by Alan Mann of the Holt Park Residents Association, Miss Morgan, Tareq, Robbie, Sana, Roshni, Lama, Chelsea and I wandered down the road to meet up with everyone. The day was beautiful, with the sun shining for the first time in days and we were actually peeling off our coats. We had a good look round - our bulb planting had come to fruitition with daffodils showing, the superb metalwork sculptures created by Chris Campbell, but designed by Class 9 were in place. Lama was particularly taken with her fish design. We discovered our names on the plaque on the wall for everybody to see and we admired the Holt Park design too. Greg Mulholland MP arrived to cut the ribbon with Alan Mann, watched by local residents, the police, members of Groundworks and the Tenants Association and other people who made the whole project possible. The children were delighted to be mentioned in Mr Mulholland's speech and receiving a round of applause and later, gathered around for official photos. Of course, my camera played up but I managed to get the important ones. The children were wonderful, chatting to people about the work they had done. We then wandered up to the Holt Park Leisure Centre for refreshments until it was time to go home. It was a lovely afternoon and I would like to thank Alan for inviting us to be part of the project and hope to work with the Tenant's Association again in the future.
