It was a very early morning start for this task: 8.30am on a Sunday morning on a bank holiday!!! Four bleary eyed good gymers came to help Catherine for the meditative task of repotting more plants for the Park View estate. Lieke concentrated on cauliflowers whilst Boris worked on geraniums, and in chatting discovered that they were both Dutch so slipped into their native tongue, but it was all double Dutch to me. Meanwhile Amanda and Stephen repotted curly kale and tomatoes. Though we finished after our alloted time still hadn't done all the plants so there may be a mission part 3. Afterwards we went to the nearby new kitsch cafe next to the canal for coffee and a natter.

Fantastic work, Stephen. Love the report! Well done, everyone. No mean feat on a Bank Holiday weekend - you made a huge difference, I hear.
