Gwyn and Tracey helped to clear up the plant growth from the neighbour's garden that was hanging over Mr C's fence. Armed with secateurs, mower, strimmer and hoe we also tidied and trimmed the rest of the garden, path and patio.

Mr C was extremely grateful for our help, and we enjoyed a chat about his late wife; she sounds like a delightful lady who took great pride in her garden.

Becky, Tracey and Gwyn met Alex from DCF and the friendly group at Parkinson's Cricket. It was great to see Becky: welcome to the group! We had a lively chat at the start, then got down to Boccia! It was a tight game, with a 2-1 split of wins, one of them by a centimetre. We then proceeded to cricket, with fine form displayed by the players. A chatty tea and biscuit session brought our enjoyable morning to a close.

Just the two of us (Tracey and Gwyn) again for a session at Mickleover Memorial Hall. Ged had the room ready and had bought a very long pole which was handy for painting the ceiling, which was a long way up!

Tracey and Gwyn met the Mates at DCF's Monday Mates monthly session. Perhaps because of school holidays and a local party, there were only six comers. We had a good time and a friendly chat and had a big brunch too!

Tracey and Gwyn joined the happy gang at Parkinson's Cricket. Alex from DCF had a competitive theme and had two games of bowling accuracy then one of batting accuracy, with one team winning two of the games, and the other one. A close match! We went on to a cricket game, tea and biscuits. It's a rewarding morning!

Tracey and Gwyn met third man Alex and old and new friends at the Parkinson's Cricket session in Allestree. The cricketers were on fine form and ojr legs were kept busy recovering the balls, with only a few slips. We finished with a long stop for tea and biscuits.
