A quick visit to the Somers Garden community orchard to water the plants and check on the veg the local community is growing.

It was certainly a warm evening for a run, but we managed a 5km round-trip and an impressive weeding mission.

On this visit, we were focusing on the car park area rather than the family garden. We weren't quite sure what the weeds were that we pulling up, only that the little sticky pods they leave on clothes are called Sticky Willies!

Conversations around nicknames, cultural depictions of ghosts and scorpions hiding in bushes kept as going through our toil. We finished our evening by planting ourselves in one of the new planters - how blooming lovely we look! 🌸

Well done to all of those who took part in today's Monday Miles - that was a scorcher!

Dave, Alice and I joined the Relay Your Way team for a quick 1km leg around Hilsea Lines. This was my first run back after injury, so the short distance seemed perfect... until I then had to run back again to collect the car as one of our team was very sweaty and grumpy post run - I'll let you guess who!! 😉

Katie made the most of Transition Day school run with a 9 mile cycle. Val walked 10km and somehow managed to resist an icecream, whilst Jane embraced a pub pit-stop on her 4-miler.

Our top distance today was covered by Judy and her pals over in Austria, who completed a 19km leg of the Lechweg Trail - and sent some beautiful photos.

As always with Monday Miles, it's not about the distance, just taking a little bit of time to squeeze some activity in to your day. Nice work, everyone!
