This very fine Saturday* 11 of us arrived at Mycenae House, some after already volunteering or running at one of the Parkruns, or swimming or just successfully rolling out of bed, hey we don't judge and it's all an achievement on a very fine Saturday.*

We joined the Friends of Mycenae Gardens who were busy getting on with planting over 400 tree whips by the dead hedge which we've spent many a day building up. We got to work, digging, planting and stamping (and playing hide and seek) and soon they were all in place and it was time for cake.

AND Today was a very special day because it was Johhny's 50th and a bit birthday...Aka his 60th 🤫. Which is particularly exciting because he will shortly get free travel, eye tests and all sorts of discounts now that he's gracefully moved into the 'Seniors' category. But it's only a number - there's nothing senior about Johnny other than the wisdom and life experience he carries with him, not to mention his many good deeds! So very fitting that after the task we enjoyed coffee and cake together to celebrate our lovely friend.

A great morning with an amazing group of humans - thank you all!

Tomorrow we have litter picking in Charlton

Wednesday we have a run to Dee's Nursery to help out in the garden.

And next Saturday it's Gardening at the Hospice in Bexley.

Until next time!

*(not fine, not sunny, just grey, grey forever grey but let's pretend we experienced some finer weather just for a moment, please 🙄)

I'm stumped

A small but mighty group gathered at Glass Mill (and Steve at the arranged meeting point) ready to tackle whatever post-driving threw at us.

First, a big congratulations to Alison for ticking off her 100th good deed. It's been wonderful to have you onboard and getting stuck into every task in the rain or shine!!

It was a longer run this eve which involved multiple very very straight long roads but once we arrived and after a demo from Eva it was time to start post-driving.

It involved quite a few people and avoiding of the head of the person holding the bottom of the tree. We successfully managed to tick off a lot of trees on our map without incident.

It was a very good core work out and hopefully everyone wasn't too achy the next day!!

Thanks to Julian for leading the group back once I'd hit my distance limit for running (pesky ankle).

See you all next week for Seniors.
