Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley
We gathered in dribs and drabs, some delayed by work and others having joined a group run from the Town Hall Hotel. It wasn’t our last Monday task before Christmas, but there was much talk of exciting festive trips to warmer places as distant as Australia and India, before we instead spread out to various parts of the Parkview estate
There were chairs to be sanded and painted; Anna, Rohan and Jo displaying their artistic talents in adding shades of brown or a kind of light green (not really lime – we were wondering what whimsical description a paint shop would give it)
Mile-End-Emma waved to us from the other side of the street, then decided she might as well cross the road and join in - after all, it was her 75th Good Deed! She bundled tree branches into a wheelbarrow and over to the bin, branches which myself, Ilana and Nia had cut back so people might perhaps be able to notice what’s on the notice board
The three of them then went to pull nails out of some old wood, so it could be recycled for carpentry and shelves in the glasshouse. Meanwhile, Bethnal-Green-Emma seemed to be graffitiing a perforated fence, but closer inspection revealed she was actually doing a great job of removing an unsightly tag from the barrier
Somehow we all re-convened for the group picture - deciding this time it might be a better idea this time to take the photo in a lit-up area...

Tower Hamlets Report written by Fiona M
Monday saw us return to the Cemetery park to help Ken tidy up an area by clearing brambles and other 'verdant villains' from stealing the light and space from other plants. We worked among the graves chopping and pulling bramble roots and small trees to clear space around the historic headstones and protect the other plants.
We braved the thorns and spooky surroundings to complete a successful task. And Ken filled us in on the interesting history of the Cemetery along the way.
Thanks everyone for a job well done and a big welcome to Dan on his second Tower Hamlets task!

Thanks Fiona and the gang for the warm and welcoming spirit. It was a prickly pleasure snipping back those brambles and getting to know the GG Tower Hamlets gang. Especially lovely to link up with @John who recently met up with GG Liverpool at Princes Park parkrun, where I was giving my GG energy up until October this year.
