Weeks of drought are not ideal for recently planted trees and Konni from the Luton Orchards Project has been looking after lots of newly planted fruit trees at various spots around town.
So, when we got a call from Konni about helping to water 70 trees in Wigmore Park's Covid memorial orchard we jumped at the chance to add this worthy task to our schedule.
We started in the town centre and welcomed Esther to her first ever session and had a warm-up. Then we began the 4.5km up-hill to the airport and then to on to the park where Konni waited for us with hose-pipe and watering cans at the ready.
On arrival we set up a watering relay system to make sure every tree got two cans of water, marking the trees with pegs to mark them as done.
We marked a couple of milestones at this session, it was our 200th group run, and Gill brought cupcakes to celebrate recently achieving 500 good deeds! We had a quick celebration with the cupcakes and some Luton apple juice provided by Konni before we bid her farewell and ran back off into the sunset!

This week we ran 2.5 km to the 61 Football Club where they're busy doing off-season maintenance to the club house. Our task for the evening was a deep clean of the muddy changing rooms after a winter of soggy players bringing the pitch inside with them!
We gave the floors a really thorough scrub and mop-up to get the mud out and gave the walls a good wipe down too, leaving it all looking much smarter by the time we called it a day and enjoyed some biscuits and a cup of strong orange squash to fuel our return run back into town.
