Ants in Pants, Thorny Issues and Getting to the Root of things

Following this mornings Park Run at Valentines Park four of us set off for the SHP allotments to meet up with Liz for a bit of weeding and cutting back.

James was set the task of clearing thick brambles to create a path to the water butt. Some of the branches were very long and thick, had huge thorns and were not giving up their territory without a fight. James bravely fought his way on despite many battle scars, stings and bites. It was a tough one for his 100th task but you've got to work for these Tshirts. Congratulations James 🥳🎊🎉

Liz was in the middle of an exhausting Street Tag surge (on line game which GGR have a team) so had the gentler task of clearing the bottom of the fruit trees of weeds and grass. Seeing how overgrown the place had got recently gave Julia the incentive to interrupt her own Tagging surge and sign up to the task by assisting Dharmesh with weeding the planted beds. Julia was immediately rewarded by an attack of the biting ants which were missing Jem who usually provides them with a tasty meal... I probably should have warned Julia about that.

We got a fair bit done between us, The bases of trees and plant beds definitely looked better and we can now get to the water tank again

Well done every one.
