Lewisham Report written by Hounslow runner
After my parkrun, I decided to join a community mission at St Mary’s Church, helping to plant bulbs around the area. Sam, the gardener in charge, explained how deep we needed to plant each size of bulb. I really enjoyed being part of the community group, and at the end, we were treated to some very rewarding refreshments, including two delicious homemade cakes and some savory snacks.

Hi! I’m the other GG person at the task, sorry I didn’t get to say hello! I asked Sue for a task a bit away from where all the leaf raking etc was happening as I’ve recently had Covid & it was a bit dusty for my still-sore lungs! Looked like everyone was working super hard! When I realised who you were you were just saying goodbye and I had a mouthful of quiche so I couldn’t 😂 There’s a few of us who regularly do Hilly Fields parkrun and then come down to the St Mary’s garden task (via the post-parkrun cafe!) so hopefully you will come again as it would be lovely to meet you! Thanks for coming all the way to Lewisham to join us ❤️

I came a bit late as I had volunteered at Beckenham parkrun and then needed to go home for a little a rest after (i really do not recommend Covid!). Hopefully you’ll come again - the refreshment table is always a good incentive! 🤣

14 of us gathered at Glass Mill ready to plant the bulbs at Florence Green. Paul kindly lead the warm up and brought the group up to Florence Green whilst I tried to walk as fast as I could so not to delay getting stuck into the bulb planting.
Subo had organised the bulbs by tree and we were each assigned a pack of bulbs to plant with a variety of tools. Some more effective than others... A variety of bulbs were planted including daffodils and aliums.
We then moved onto our next task for the evening which was removing the stakes from the hedges that we planted a long while back, only if we thought they were strong enough to survive on their own without support!
We were soon done and dusted with that task as well and it was time to head back to Glass Mill.
Welcome Joshua to your first GoodGym session - hope you had a wonderful evening and we'll see you again soon!
We might be visiting Florence Green again before the year is out as they're expecting another delivery of bulbs from the council.
Next week we are heading to The Albany to tackle a list of jobs in the garden and of course the usual litter pick of the perimeter.

First time at Hornfair, which is not in my local area but happen to be house-sitting nearby which gives me the opportunity to visit other parkruns.
It is so wonderful to see kids of all ages getting out and enjoying the fun of running, walking, and volunteering. The parkrun even had some foam hands for marshals to give some power-up hi-fives!
I don’t think it was a official fancy-dress parkrun but there were still lots of excellent outfits including a very fast and very enthusiastic skeleton, and a superhero who was Iron Man on top and Batman on bottom! Why choose one when you can be both! And why are grown up clothes so boring - i would like to be a dinosaur please!
After all of our young runners had completed two laps of the course, my marshalling duties were fulfilled but my heart remained happy long after I had left. ❤️
