4 years ago we visited the wild area at St Jude's School and we were back tonight.

We met up at Southsea Medical Centre which had the added bonus of meaning we caught up with the Goodgymers there before we set off on our run.

The school have done loads of work on the wild area. We were helping cut back the overgrown bushes, clear pathways and dig over some of the flower beds.

We had a look at the pond but couldn't see any evidence of the frogs spotted earlier in the year 🐸

Lucy and Rachel found the most treasure in the form of many spoons, a cauldron and a shiny rock. All we needed was eye of newt and we'd have been all set for spell weaving.

Puns during the evening included many in relation to spooning and an accidental pun about a backlog of wood waiting to be added to the natural fence!

Good work all round, I'm sure we'll be back again soon.
