Everyone clearly had increased energy from the mass chocolate consumption over Easter as loads of people brought their documents to be checked so they can do our work with older people. Woohoo!

We started the evening by celebrating George who hit 100 big ones. Nice one George!

A small group went off with John to dig some soil out of planters at a GP Surgery in Stockwell. We'll be moving the planters to another surgery and re-filling them with soil quite soon.

The rest were back to Clapham Common to continue our work making a wildflower meadow. This week, we got to turn the soil from the two strips already made and we planted some flowers! It's a true honour that GoodGym got to lay the first plants in this lovely new space. You can see a nice tweet with photos of our handiwork here.

We did some stretches back at base and look forward to next week being even lighter than this one!

'Twas the first run of the year where Lambeth enjoyed the first half of the session in daylight. Hooray! And what a lovely time we had. As the last Tuesday of the month, we had a very special Shit Prize of the Month (SPOTM) to give out. This month the grand winner was David who has got totally stuck in to Lambeth runs and also getting DBS checked within a month of starting. NICE ONE DAVID! He was the lucky winner of a pink t-shirt with a frankly terrifying screen print of Katie's mug on it...a spare bit of garb from her hen do last year. Little does David know that there's a giant stuffed toy dog next to a swimming pool in Ibiza wearing exactly the same design. Maybe one day they shall meet? WHO KNOWS.

And with that we were off for a nice warm up and short run to Myatt's Field. We help the management team keep this lovely park looking good for local residents to enjoy. This week, a small team went off to do some weeding by the greenhouses, whilst the rest took up hoes and rakes and went to clear weeds away from the base of some trees. Once a nice clear circle was created, mulch was spread over the soil. Everyone was busy weeding and digging and clearing up after themselves. It was great.

This is great! Said Taye the head gardener

Once finished, Katie got everyone to do a fairly killer fitness session involving running plus all kinds of strength exercises for the whole body. NICE. Then it was back to base for some stretches and a well earned Easter break.
