A special GoodGym night it was as our very own Martel finally logged 100 good deeds. Although we all know that she has done way more behind the scenes and she should have reached this goal a long time ago - she has officially reached 100! Congratulations on your achievement - can't wait to see your red t-shirt with wings soon.

To celebrate we did our group run to Welcare - a charity devoted to working with families with young children - and we saw the garden in full bloom. Beautiful tulips and daffodils provided an splash of colour and we worked hard to weed between the bulbs without damaging them. Lots of sycamore saplings needed to be removed and a carpet of borage - too much self-seeding would have them take over this pretty garden and destroy our previous hard work planting. A little robin even came to inspect our work as we toiled in the soil.

The time went very quickly as we chatted with Aruna and soon it was time to collect our things and head off. Can't wait to see the progress on our next visit.
