We'd been asked to mow Mr M's lawn - he's recently been diagnosed with dementia and is less able to do things himself.

When we arrived, the lawn had already been cut by a neighbour. Instead we agreed with Mr M that we would clear the ivy and brambles growing along his rather l-o-n-g garden fence, and weed a small flower bed. We also swept the path.

By the time we finished everything looked much tidier, but you'll have to take our word for it as we forget to get that all important 'after' photo!

It was a hi-viz start to the day for four of us at Eltham junior parkrun.

Taking up marshalling and time-keeping roles we saw a whopping 165 children safely around the two-lap 2k course.

There were fast runners, slow runners, walkers and even a child running backwards for the second lap!

If you can spare an hour of your Sunday morning, why not give it a go? You'll be rewarded with smiles and a happy buzz. And if you need an extra reason, there's a great coffee shop nearby for a post task treat!
