Last night Rob, Fiona and Chris were back at Fountains care home to carry on with the gardening. Unfortuently Fiona was running late so met us at there.  This meant Rob and Chris pushed each other all the way to Fountains care home, we were both knackered once we get there but felt good for the hard run.

Once we had caught our breaths back and Fiona had stopped laughing at us for how tired we were. We went in and met Michelle, who told us what tonight's plan was and had remembered to get the shed key off the gardener before he left for the day.

We set to work in the fading light, luckily myself and Chris had remembered to bring out head touches which helped light up the flower beds we were weeding. 

After a good 40 minutes of weeding, we cleared up, put all the tools back in the shed and headed on our way. This week, Chris came up with another route back up a long slow hill, thankfully at the top of the was another one of Solihull's finest pubs.

We will be back next week doing more good, hope to see you there.
