A beautiful early summer's evening last night and we were off to discover a little haven between Brixton and Clapham which no one knows about, until now....

As ever first things first and that is a warm welcome to brand new GGer Will who joined us for his first session, Will it was awesome to have you with us!

Tonight's category was a good'un so we will recycle it next week but both Michael and Will shared their 3rd favourite song of all time and there was clearly a theme, we had Aretha's Rock Steady, Vulfpeck's 1612 (great track!) and Nina's Feelin' Good! Add them to your playlists, you won't be disappointed.

Our compact group set off from base at Papa's and headed over to Landor Road - managing to meet Nathan on the way - where we discovered a little oasis that no one knew existed and wonderful triangular walled allotment.

Valcie was there to meet us in high spirits as ever, and she started calling in the various residents to come down and get involved sorting plots for the community and helping to clear as much of the weed growth which has exploded with the rain and sunshine we have had recently. At this point Marie-Noelle and Paul were with us and the work could begin in earnest.

As you can see from the pictures the challenge was a big one but in typical GG fashion we spread out, got fully stuck in and never mind the nettles, then by the end of the session we had cleared 7/8 bin liners full of green growth to be composted.

A very satisfying task all round so thanks to Valcie for the snacks and drinks, and to everyone for their hard work - see you all next week!
