We had a sunset! We saw stars because there were no clouds! We had new GoodGymmer Shubham with is for the first time! How good could this get?

As the walkers arrived they could hear the chip-chopping of the runners, already socking it to the brambles as we try to find the wall on the far side of the Burial Ground, progressing across the entire width of the previously bramble-filled space.

With Richard B swanning around somewhere soggy, Richard G took ownership of the Shears of Destruction to make excellent progress to the wall, even if he did trap himself behind the new wall of chopped bramble.

Meanwhile Cameron and Nachiket created a tunnel to the back fence after Cameron had already helped Caroline to clear the tool shed of encroaching brambles.

Whilst Vaguely Northern Darren raked up choppage, the main team were working on the latest bulk-of-brambles zone, revealing more gravestones - the whole space is looking lovely, before the brambles and nettles get a burst of energy is Spring.

The day's discovery was a babyfoot table, though it turns out only Melanie knows thats what its really called, not table football.

We all tried to learn a but of Japanese but we're finding it really hard - anyone have any tips?

More opportunities for good deeds this week, and a walk around the Light Festival on Friday, too - see you soon?

The weather was kind to us this morning and the persistent rain of the past few weeks (months!) has soften the ground to make our task of removing the final strips of turf much easier. This will enable a wildflower meadow to be sown on the grounds of the Southmead Hospital allotment, to create an even more welcoming and relaxing space for hospital staff, patients and visitors.

It was great to welcome Tik along for their first session, obviously keen for an additional workout after a morning bootcamp, whereas Andy , Melanie and Jason had headed up to the task after the usual Saturday morning parkrun.

Myself and Richard had a more leisurely start to the morning, naturally saving ourselves to give the task our all!

Once we had cleared the turf from the wildflower meadow space, we then set about weeding and clearing any loose strands of grass, leaving a bit to do next month before the seeds are sown.

It's looking good for March!
