On Again - Off Again - Here We Go !!

Last night the GG Lambeth crew were scheduled to head over and help out Valcie and the local residents at Landor Road Allotments and as of the morning we had a group of 5 of us.

This was also the second attempt to get over there as the last session had to be postponed so we wanted to do a good job but as the day progressed the attendance list began to fluctuate. By 6pm only AA Yianny was signed up (but others had committed verbally) to coming so when Michael arrived at Papa's it had been decided to postpone again...

Michael and Yianny decided to keep the Run portion of the evening and head out together only to receive a call saying two more volunteers (Marie-Noelle and Paul) plus two community members were at the plots (enjoying a glass of red opposite) waiting for us! And so in the end it was TASK ON for the Lambeth team.

After all that it was a very satisfying task chopping wood, pulling weeds, tidying, collecting green waste and generally helping to put the allotment back to some kind of order for those who had not been able to tend their plots. There was also a listing tree that needed propping back up with metal rods (perhaps a glass of red too many...?)

Just after 8 we deposited our black bags at the entrance and made our separate ways home. Big thanks to all who turned out and keep an eye out for our Summer GG Picnic event which will take place at the Allotments kindly hosted by Valcie for all our help. ;0)
