Five wonderful women joined me in Brent to run 7km and help out at Queen's Park Gardens!

We gathered at the Queensbury and once it hit seven we headed out for the intro! We welcomed Liz back from her trip to South America - top points for coming straight from the airport! In the news, we mentioned the 10th birthday party at City Hall next week and the social on Thursday too.

Once that was done we headed off - we were lucky (or not) as we managed to hit green at most of the lights and made a fairly steady run till we were close to the Gardens. Once we negotiated the lights at the bottom on Kensal Rise we made our way to the garden and there met Astrid.

She laid out the jobs - deadheading roses, weeding some flower beds and a general litter pick - and we split into pairs and donned gloves and went on our way. After about 30 minutes we downed tools and said goodbye to Astrid who was very grateful for all our help.

Before we left the park we did a very quick session on the public exercise machines and posed for some photos too. With that done and with the light fading fast we headed back to base, taking a different route for a bit of variety. We made sure to stretch properly and then we were done. Next week we are helping out in Willesden with a litter pick to help with the Best High Streets bid!

Cheers,
Pritesh
