When the sun is out, you're supposed to get your guns out... But what if you're a bit gunshy these days, I can highly recommend Surbiton cemetery as a place to beef them up. But not for your usual grave digging or even robbing, we're all far too good for that. This was all about clearing the paths through the graves to make them more accessible to visitors. So armed with shovels and barrow 6 of us dug scraped and peeled back the overgrown turf and piled it up at one end of the path. It wasn't all hard work no play though, there was still time for a game of shovel balancing... Fair to say, Stephen was a clear winner there. Don't believe me? Check out the photo evidence.

Good luck to the Kingston girls representing us in the Hampton Court 10k this Sunday. Even if you are not aiming for a PB, enjoy the run and hope you get yourselves a good stash haul at the finish line.
