5ive?! No, there were 7 of us actually.

Tonight's run was to St John's Meadow, a nice green patch which is tended to by some church volunteers. It's just been a long weekend so instead of our usual Monday, we went for a Tuesday!

Just like old times.

5 of us met at the Bridge House, discussed what we'd been up to over Easter and then hit the road. We met Hannah and Kat at the church as well as Jenny who showed us our task.

A huge pile of woodchip (made up of branches from nearby plane trees so low carbon footprint...kinda πŸ™„) sat at the top of the slope and at the bottom there were some paths between the veg beds which were looking a bit weedy and muddy. Our job was to get the paths covered and clearly defined.

We split into little groups, grabbed shovels and filled up 2 wheel barrows and a big bucket and transported it down to the vegetable patch. Nick mastered manoeuvring the particularly weird wheelbarrow which was apparently just left at the church one time. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

We were particularly nippy and got even more path covered and raked than we originally planned.

Team work makes the dream work ☁️

Nice one, gang. ✌️
