Wednesday 2nd July

Tonight we met at Heart and split into two teams to deliver the OWLS Hooters. Kat & Helen were one team & Christian and I were the other. We did 6.5K & delivered all the leaflets to their local service users.

Good work all & thanks to Christian for slowing down to my pace!

Selfie-conscious

Wednesday 28th May

Written by Laura

We had another fantastic evening up at OWLS allotments in Headingley. We weeded large parts of the plot as usual and no doubt will do it all again next month! Jubz was very generous and gifted the group a selfie stick so that we can finally all get in pictures. He also wore his shirt backwards which everyone was too polite to point out (apart from me)! Congratulations to Shannen on her 40th good deed tonight & to Christian on his 42nd (sorry I missed your 40th)! You guys are awesome! Well done team and thanks for a great evening.

Hairy vine, no friend of mine...

Saturday 24th May

Written by Laura

Today, 3 of us met to tackle the Bramley OWLS garden's and the corner of overgrowth. We weren't sure what we would find, but there was lots and lots of ivy underneath. We filled several bags with debris and then created a compost heap in the corner. A good strim is needed to clear the rest. Good work ladies!

The Heat of the Moment

Wednesday 30th April

Written by Laura

In the words of Rachel, 'what a wholesome evening!'

After a very hot run, it was so nice to be back up at the OWLS allotments on a lovely warm evening. We weeded several beds & paths & as there was 13 of us, we made a huge difference by the time we left. I'm always amazed by how much we can get done in an hour! This will allow the OWLS service users to focus on the fun stuff, planting and seeing to all the vegetables they're planting this summer.

Welcome to Ankita on her first Wednesday session & welcome back to Kawan.
