This was our first evening visit to Waterloo Park for quite some time, to support the Friends of Waterloo Park with the gardens that they manage.

Jean and her team were there to greet us with all of the tools needed for the task.

That said task was to clear most of an overgrown flower bed, so that the local school can visit and plant sun flower seeds. We'll be sure to arrange a visit later in the year to see them.

After some lovely refreshments kindly provided by FoWP, we headed... to the pub for a social.

Ok, it wasn't quite a massacre (or anywhere near to be fair) but just for a glimpse of a second, when Eloise was holding the hedge trimmer with intent, I was slightly cautious haha.

It was a glorious evening at Sprowston Nursery. Amanda was there to greet us and had a an array of tools for us to use.

The goal was to clear the garden area used by the toddlers - trimming back the hedge, weeding, cutting back stinging nettles and strimming the grass.

I love the photo at the end when we attempted to spell 'GoodGym' with our hands. Well done Maddy for figuring out how to do a G!

This is probably one of my worst puns but heyhoe!

This evening we returned to Somerleyton Gardens to spread some manure over the vegetable patch, lay some more bark on the paths and erect a little boarder fence.

It was a great end to the bank holiday weekend and was followed by a trip to a local pub, not The Bell for once!

We visited the residents at Dell Rose Court Housing with Care, for an evening of Bingo, which they were all excited for... thinking they would take us to the cleaners haha.

Well... Maddy was going to put an end to that by taking the first two Full Houses... she really wanted the hand cream but when she had the choice of biscuits, cakes or fig rolls... she went for the fig roles, I'm shocked.

Luckily the tenants came back and took the final three Full Houses.

The evening finished with some discussions with the tenants and we look forward to returning again soon.
