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.

What a glorious scene greeted you as you entered Catton Park this morning, the Grounds staff had mowed walkways through the Park. Unfortunately the only part not mowed was the start run so it would be a wet footed start! Goodgymer Kathryn was celebrating her 40th birthday! YES 40 I’m sure she’s really 30 ! her family were also running/walking in celebration & her brother (from Lowestoft ) was first through the finish in celebration I'm sure. Lots of first time parkrunners join us, it’s so good more people are enjoying the benefits of getting outdoors to improve their wellbeing, so good to see and hear them enjoying do so. Goodgymers attending today, Rob R Rob O,Rachel , Katie L, Panda Dave, Alina, Roisin & birthday girl Kathryn. we also celebrated Goodgym Susanna 51st deed today, enjoyed your black 50 t shirt when it arrives. picture is from last week your actual 50th deed! Well done everyone

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!
