This week we revisited South Ward Allotments.

Our particular set of skills had been requested by the manager of the site to help cut back brambles (what else?!?) threatening to take over one of the plots and block all important access to the main water stopcock.

Armed with a variety of cutty things we plunged in and soon amassed quite the bramble mountain. Goodgymers will not be defeated when it comes to brambles.

We chopped away, chatting as we went about parkrun, the upcoming Blenheim Triathlon, the ridiculousness of the housing market, our jaunt to Marlborough and chips.

After a last minute panic involving a lost pair of secateurs and a dismantling of the aforementioned bramble mountain, we stood back and proudly surveyed our handiwork.

Good work team! Welcome to Charlotte it was lovely to have you along this evening!
