This afternoon we headed to help Christian Care Merton to tackle an overgrown garden area. After hacking away a dense tangle of stubborn brambles, we set to work with spades and forks, digging to unearth buried brick, cement, and rocks in an attempt to clear the debris and begin flattening the space to prepare it for the next stage of transformation.

It was proper hard graft, and this project is definitely going to need a return visit or two - along with plenty more muscle! A huge well done and thank you to the hardy volunteers who answered the last-minute call-out. We will be back soon with hopefully a few more helpers.
