OK, thats a really shoe-horned pun title but you know what I mint.

Another glorious Tuesday, the first trip of the year to Dame Emily Park's fabulous Community Garden that's grown so much since we started helping out years ago. Nowadays were helping manage the space and plants that are there rather than mass clearance or compost shifting in preparation and hope that things would grow.

Poppies that had already set seed were being pulled out, fragrant herb beds were carefully weeded, willow was woven into the new hedge (and a tiny bit of trying to help the willow dome and the all-important tasting of biscuits and fruit Ursula had kindly provided to keep us going. An unexpected treat was small bits/fruits (?) of wasabi that lots of GGers were brave enough to try.

The main feature, though, was celebrating Jason's 501st good deed - a huge achievement and so much good and happiness and wellbeing shared in Bristol - well done! And there were cakes, obviously, though decamped to Bar + Block as Club Haus in Workout was closed for the evening. It felt like a really fun picnic even though we were indoors instead of overlooking the water with pots of tea. And the team at Bar + Block took it in their stride, luckily for us :-)

it was warm but we managed to get two ends of a path to join up and look more like a path again - success!
