You know the drill; Wednesday night = Goodgym Colchester night, and even though some of our crew were off walking on fire, there were still a few of us ready to make Colchester more beautiful. We only say it because we missed you so much Tav and Ella!

Tonight's task was a visit to Pam's to pick up some bulbs before planting them around the town centre; a true flashmob of good. There were two locations to plant - these were on Crouch Street in front of the Boyden's estate agents and the triangle near the sign for Vineyard Street Car Park.

We grabbed as many bulbs as we could, split into two groups and proceeded to make Colchester beautiful again.

Half an hour later and we were all done, and returned our tools to Pam's house. Whilst we can't see the flowers just yet, we did see the result of our very thorough weeding almost right away, and the flowers, we will enjoy when they come up in the spring.
