Sweeping away the cobwebs
Thank you to my team tonight - Barbara and Paula were all set when I arrived . We were then joined by Paul who was fresh from ski-ing and also Gillybean who it was great to see back again.
We had been invited back to Linfield House garden which is a regular task for us during the spring and summer months. However today it looked as if we were beaten to it. Both green bins were fairly full and nearly all the beds looked very tidy and in order. However we did find some weeding to do and also a fair bit of pruning of the clematis to remove the dead wood underneath it.
50 minutes later we ended with the only photo of the night ( Belinda - I think Ive forgotten to take them since you have been in charge of photography the last few weeks!) and mulched our debris into the green bins.
Looking forward to seeing you all next week at our new task and Birthday celebrations

Rain, Rain, can you just go away
Oh my goodness - after a sunny morning and early afternoon that showed so much promise for a light and dry GG task, on arrival, we were faced with the worst of the worst . It was dark, wind, rain and a chill factor that was not pleasant.
Barbara, after a challenging few months of illness and injury, was immediately told to go home - obviously she didn't! but thank goodness she didn't hang around too long - we want our very special Babs back to best ASAP !
It was so nice to see Paula back to a Monday task and what a glorious night of weather that she chose for it!
Thank you also to Johnand Daisy who also turned out in the horrible weather to try and finish this ongoing project.
Massive thanks to Belinda who was on her photography duty again ( wishing her poorly thumb a speedy recovery )
Digging in
With hoods up and garden forks in hand we got down to the heart of the digging and weeding. Another night where we were so grateful for Uncle Ivo's lights!
45 minutes later and enough was enough ! We down tooled and attempted to remove the cloggy mud from our shoes.
I think its fair to say that we were not dorry to say goodbye ! What we really need is a decent GG jacket for nights like this .......
Have a great week.

On a sunny Sunday Paul and Paula together with Hudson and I had a tidy up of our flowerbed on the seafront.
Following this we headed to the pier - what an ideal venue for interval training! Paul did an amazing 5 laps of the pier with escalating pace each time ranging from 2.50 mins to 2.19 He absolutely nailed this and completed the brief perfectly and has certainly set the bar high for next time !
on the way back we gave a cheer to Ricky who had just finished his half snickers training run ( marathon - in case you are wondering! )
it was a great way to finish a really lovely hour.
See you all next time
