Mini eggs for volunteers this morning at Coldham's Common parkrun 🐣

Feeling motivated, I headed over to my favourite part of the common and excellent marshaling spot 'the trees'. Perfect not only for cheering on parkrunners and walkers, but also ideal for bird and plane spotting. Next to Cambridge airport, there were lots of light aircraft taking off and in amongst the sounds of the planes and my cheering was the distinct tapping of a woodpecker. All very exciting.

Over the other side of town, Harriet was Run Director at Fulbourn Hospital parkrun, ensuring all went smoothly. Nice one 🙌

Well done to all runners and walkers that took part this morning. Enjoy the long weekend ☀️

A ribbiting evening spent at The Fields Child and Family Centre, where we welcomed Yasmiena and Peter to their first GoodGym session 👋

I met Peter at Parkside Pools and we took a lovely sunny jog over to Abbey where we met Sunethra and Yasmiena.

All was quiet on site, but armed with gardening tools, gloves and determination, we got started on the overgrown beds. They were full of dead shrubbery and thorny bramble, some of which had grown up under the cladding on the building!

Part way through Yasmiena spotted a frog who was very unhoppy about being disturbed. 🐸 We attempted a careful relocation, but it was sure it wanted to find its own way to a new home. Safely tucked away, we continued.

We weeded, cleared, pruned, and turned the soil to transform it in just 50 minutes 💪

What a fantastic first daylight evening session of the season, with dappled sun, interesting conversation and satisfying progress made. We collected all the waste for disposal and admired our work before going our separate ways into the sunset.

Until next time!
