00:19Cool. So this is a rather nice garden you've got here. This wasn't like this a couple of months ago, was it?
00:24No, it was just a really big thing.
00:26It was, yeah.
00:27Thank you, Harlan.
00:28There you go. So what do you think of it now then, guys? What are your thoughts about it?
00:33I think it's like way more like relaxed and it's like a nice place to like, like sit around and relax.
00:40Yeah.
00:41And like be in the sun.
00:42Anybody else want to say something? Yeah, go on mate. Oh, we come James. Go on mate.
00:46I think it's a really nice place to just sit and let the world go by.
00:50Yeah, good stuff. And go on young lady, are you going to say something?
00:53I think it's like a holiday when you can go on a picnic.
00:56Oh, I like that. So Miss, how's this magical garden come about then?
01:01Well, we're absolutely delighted to have received a grant from Centrica and they not only gave us the money to redevelop this area,
01:08but also we had a team of volunteers from them as well as some fantastically dedicated parents who cleared out an old hedge and took out all of the overgrowth as well to enable us to be able to use this area again for the children.
01:20Great.
01:21Fantastic.
01:22And you've been having a bit of a special day, haven't you? You've been doing a bit of a VE day kind of theme.
01:26We have, absolutely.
01:27So what's been happening?
01:28Well, it's such a special time to remember the 80th anniversary of the VE and VJ days as well.
01:33And we have named our new garden space, our peace garden.
01:37Ah, nice.
01:38So it seemed like a really great idea to combine how important, remembering how important the peace is, as well as enjoying this beautiful, peaceful space as well.
01:46Cool. What do you reckon, guys? Thumbs up all round, yeah?
01:49Yeah.
01:50Cool. And you've got something else to say.
01:52What's that, chicken?
01:53I think that my dad did most of the work on the peace garden.
01:58Oh, he did a lot of work, did he?
02:00He worked very hard, didn't he?
02:01Cool, that's good.
02:02And did I spot a bug hotel?
02:04Yeah.
02:05I like that. That's really cool.
02:06Right, well, we'll let you enjoy it. You've got some sports this afternoon, haven't you?
02:09It's part of the celebrations and then a special ribbon cutting later.
02:13Absolutely.
02:14Well, thank you guys for inviting us to your special peace garden. Bye!
02:17Thank you! Bye!
02:18Bye!
