Tentatively venturing out despite the threat of rain, a gang of 7 do-gooders headed to the mighty Brixton Windmill for a spot of gardening.
There were plenty of energetic dogs about but they just about managed to let us get on with our activities in peace.
We managed a whole lot of stuff:
Ella and I were moving and spreading mulch around in a raised bed some GGers had erected a few weeks back.
Laura was helping plant some little shrubs around the Windmill's brand new flagpole!?
Esse and Jason got stuck in straight away cutting down a little bush that was riddled with black aphids or something. Jason then proved himself to be a master-grafter, cutting out bits of grass from between the pavement slabs and putting them in areas that were worn down from walkers.
And Shauna and Sarah were trimming back a bush which was growing out a little too far. A passer-by suggested that now was not exactly the best time for chopping bushes because of birds nesting, but it was okay - they'd kept a keen eye out for any possible nests.
After a whole hour and a half (and just one short-ish, sharp shower), we called it a day.
Lovely to see, meet and re-meet you guys! Solid job! 🥳
No birds were harmed in the writing of this run report.
