I am not sure if the report title is the best or the worst I have ever done? And just to reassure you, Pam gave us the rhubarb which we used as relay batons, waved at motorists and pretended to be a galloping moose! The four of us met at The Gym and welcomed Vanessa back after a little break! The sun is setting later and those light summer evenings are not far away but tonight we worked under torch light. The ever enthusiastic Pam set us to work. Whilst Frazer and I tackled some small trees that blocked access to a veggie patch with fairly blunt saws, Ella and Vanessa potted some rescued geraniums! The list of jobs at the Bergholt Road allotment is always full but we made a good dent by competing this task. Once again proving that teamwork, no matter the size of the team, can see impressive results.

As we ran past North Station, Colne Bank Avenue and then Lexden road I am sure some motorists were a bit bemused by runners with rhubarb. Vanessa, did you turn any heads?

Enjoy the rest of your week and the weekend and have fun with Helen next week.

Brilliant report title, Tav! And my rhubarb got baked and it was delicious.
