This evening we visited the tranquil Bowthorpe Community Gardens, on the warmest and sunniest evening of the year so far. It felt more like July than April.

Elizabeth T was joining us on her first led session, after making her debut on a community mission at the weekend.

We had a few tasks lined up. Elizabeth H and Woody were giving the benches a good scrub and clean. Sarah & Jenny were weeding the gravel areas. Elizabeth T and Stephen were doing some painting, while I was doing some watering.

It was a lovely bright and calm evening, we all had a great time.

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun. This week we were joined by a group of children from a school in Beccles along with their teachers.

Helped remove many fallen logs which had blocked many pathways through the Lionwood wood. This logs were then repositioned as pathway edges and to block routed which were destroying bluebell growth. Many sycamore trees were cut down due to spreading too much. These cutting were used to make a dead hedge as a pathway edge.

Today was Park Walk day nationwide and we had our fair share here, over 30 i reckon and a fabulous well done to everyone. I was tailwalker so got to see everyone. Roisin was on the Church St lap 1 & lap 2 and Bobby was in the woods with his maracas, he was also celebrating his 100th parkrun volunteering milestone.

Tonight was all about Alina, who was completing her 100th deed with GoodGym, what an achievement! Congratulations Alina.

The task tonight was our first ever visit to Magdalen Medical Practice, to give their garden a good clear over.

As you can see from the photos, the team of GoodGymers had to work had and did a grand job.

Massive 412 people walk/run/jog their way around Catton today, including a massive amount of tourists & first timers, great to see. Lots of Park walkers which is fantastic, being outside, enjoying our gorgeous park, joining together for our wellbeing & good health.
