Great to be back at Emmanuel Parish Church for another evening in the gardens, Paul, Graham and I taking a gentle jog over from Freaks and Geeks.

Given the recent dry weather, the ground is currently too hard for any planting, so we concentrated on giving the gardens a good general tidy-up, with plenty of litter picking and leaf sweeping. We made a very satisfying difference to the garden — a good bit of tidying can go a long way!

A particular thank you to Paul, who went above and beyond this evening and helped us out with some of the less glamorous aspects of the task. 👏

And, as promised, Sybil and the Emmanuel team gave us a very warm welcome with the usual supply of post-task refreshments. 😋

We'll be back soon, hopefully after some rain allows us to do some autumn planting!
