To this author’s knowledge, Miles Davis never played the New Cross Inn. Thus he missed the chance to visit Florence Green. This opportunity was not passed over on a gloomy Sunday by two Good Gymers, who arrived to meet the irrepressible Subo and two of the regular volunteers for a planting session.

Today’s planting was 125 bluebells, which will brighten the place enormously just when we need it it the spring. 5 bags were dispersed and as the heavens opened and the temperature dropped we got down to planting.

Nothing lasts forever and the bulbs were soon planted to the required depth. So that done, we went off walking in the cold November rain.
