Lily's Fort Diary

Sunday 14th February 2016

Today was the first volunteer day that we really got to do some work. More digging! Daddy and me helped to uncover more of the original walls...

Today just me and Mummy went to the Fort. We walked there and listened to music on mummy's phone.

It was a very cold day and we did not stay very long. I did do some digging and I had a Birthday Cake.

The first Fort Sunday of 2016 and it rained! It rained a lot! As daddy said though at least we went even if we did not do very much.

We did go for a walk along the harbour arm, which we did not get time to do on Christmas Day. I threw some flowers into the see for my Grandpa.

Today we rode back to the fort to carry on with the Nissen Hut.

The first job today was to dig around the base. This is for the wood that will be put down for the base just like the plans I found on the computer.

It was very hard work but there were lots of people to help.

After lunch some of the helpers carried on digging at the top of the fort near where the cannons would be and daddy carried on painting the metal curves. This time he painted them grey. This time I got to help for a bit longer.

Jake and I then got to play for a while. I had brought my bow and arrows with me so really enjoyed it. We both made some animals in the sand on the bank. I made a cat. Daddy's friend Ashley came with his children and had a tour - I hope he enjoyed it!

The first day at the fort of 2014!

Today daddy, Jake and me went to start helping with the new Nissen Hut. It was the first time I had seen it and there are a lot of bit and pieces to clean and put together.

First job was to move the curve metal bits from the tunnel so that we could clean them. They were very heavy.

Next it was time to start cleaning. THIS WAS THE BEST PART OF THE DAY!

It was very hard work and there were 21 that need to be cleaned today.

Once they were cleaned Craig and daddy started to paint them red. I had a little go but was not allowed to do very much because the paint was too smelly!

I think they looked much better than when we started, what do you think? Which one of these pictures looks the best?
