Dream Tree-m

Rosie and John arrived promptly at the gorgeous Bonner Gate entrance to Victoria Park. A light-filled avenue, this stretch through the park always looks picturesque, whatever the weather.

The duo made their way through some infuriating-but-useful balance exercises; every standing lower body exercise under the sun, and undoubtedly hit every inch of the glutes.

We then made our way the short distance down to Globe Town, to meet Simeon, from Trees for Streets.

Simeon was brilliantly-organised as usual, with maps, leaflets and a perfectly-planned strategy.

We divided into two teams, and headed out all over the Roman Road and Bow areas, helping to spread the words about this accessible, useful tree sponsorship scheme.

This project enables local councils to plant more trees within their budget, encouraging residents and local businesses to support council street tree-planting programmes by donating some, or all, of the cost of new trees.

Residents who would like more trees in their streets, beneficial to both our physical and mental wellbeing, can contribute to this project.

Boosting step count and spirits, we walked along relevant roads, slowly getting through all the leaflets.

Having run over time by a whopping 20 minutes, we met back on Roman Road for one final picture.

A great little evening's work done. Well done everyone.

Until next time.
