Weed like to share with you last night's outing to Plum Hall. We made the courtyard and shared spaces safer and tidier for Colchester Borough Homes residents.

With one big rain shower out the way in the afternoon it was a warm night, so the drinks Cindy provided were very welcome. As was the return of Bob who had also made beautiful bird box!! A great surprise.

We Jeffed our way to Plum Hall crossing the ancient Roman Circus track on the way there and back.

The job, although familiar, was done with so much effort and fun. Bob set about the epicormic growth on the four big trees whilst Louise and Em weeded and Sophie and Frazer enjoyed grouting the paving slabs. A lot got done and we swept up before heading off.

Ella took some lovely photos and look out for Em's TikTok skills.

We didn't just pop grout, we went grout grout.

A big difference made.
