Welcome today to new runners Kate and Bella who accompanied us along the Malago Greenway to meet Martin and his MVCG companions down at the secret orchard.

Once there, they joined a group tasked with planting some wildflower bulbs being sure to distribute them in a 'casual just as nature might have done' manner.

Most others worked to cut back any new brambles and make sure they can't get re-established while Chris and Patrick did some excellent lumberjack work on a couple of unruly elders.

Great to be back in the orchard and looking forward to many more visits in 2019! Thanks to Dave for the pun.

"Unruly elders"? I would like to make it clear that no rambunctious octogenarians were harmed during this run :-)

Ha - possibly could have done with a capital E, but thanks for the clarification, Patrick!
