This afternoon the task was to get rid of all the mickalmas daisies that had spread on the bed, and around the outside. Then we worked pulling out thistles from a area further down in the back of the park. 2 bags later I walked home for my reward [ a cup of tea]

This morning on a glorious sunny morning, I arrived to do my job volunteering at the junior parkrun, I had been allocated scanning today. So with a few others, we waited until the kids, worn out and weary came in to get their finishing time. Even though a while later there were lots of them in the playground with a second wind.

A lovely, sunny morning and what better way to spend it than going for a walk and doing some leafleting for Folar.They have lots of fun activities planned for the kids in the local area as well as music events. If you're free then head on over!

Lovely morning spent with Gloria and Peter from FoLaR in Latchmere Recreation Centre. Julie and Rachel were asked to help move two big bags of bark to new saplings that were planted by GoodGym a year ago.
We first cleared the dead stems and the couch grass and then turned over the soil carefully watched by Julie's two adorable pups. They had a great vantage point by standing on the two big bags of bark. Adorable!
We eventually persuaded them to move and poured the new wood chip round the saplings. A tree-mendous transformation!
We also popped by the planter that we moved a few weeks ago on our group run - well positioned and the rosemary was thriving much to our delight.
