Our first Group Run since March 2020!!!

Oh my it was nice to have that take place again.

Myself, Elizabeth, Stephen and Mark met at Colney Lane Pavilion before setting off to Bowthorpe Community Gardens. It was a tad warm so we decided to walk most of it.

On arrival, a couple of the lovely volunteers greeted us with fruit before talking us through the tasks. Stephen and Mark were trimming back overgrown thistles and poppies, while Elizabeth and I were trimming back the overgrown paths. A couple of passing local residents commented on how much of a good job we were doing, which is lovely to receive gratitude for.

On our way back, we went via Bowthorpe Meadows, which was glorious.
