This report is late.

Which is something my teachers always used to say.

Hmmm does that mean they were right...

Anyway, enough of this self-flagellation. And more of this lovely evening.

We met on a hot evening 2 weeks back. Too hot even for the amateur sun seekers amongst us. We sheltered in the shade as we caught up and chattered. And we then warmed up with our very own politically attuned version of British Bulldog. Exercise for the body and the mind.

To the wonderful Greenwich Pleasaunce was where we ventured. Tucked away from the main road in East Greenwich, it is a drop of sanctuary in a busy city. And it's also the home of the rather awesome Bridge Community Centre.

Weeds had amassed. Many weeds of different shapes. But all equally unnecessary. And all easy work for our lovely Greenwich group. They watered, dug, pulled, and shifted until the bed of green looked like fertile soil once again. The Bridge team will be planting away this Summer.

And this group aren't simply destructive. Oh no. Claire and Andy were on the nuturing side that evening, giving the centre's wonderful plants and beds a little healthy water.

Thanks for a lovely one, folks!!
