An overcast Wednesday, which isn't uncommon this year, as we've had a dismal start to the summer season, however, we quickly forgot about that as we danced through Stratford towards Forest Gate. Conversation veered mostly to Cypress; Brad's recent wedding he attended, the weather, eating culture and the war.

We doubled in numbers at the church, where Hils,Sharon and Kev met us. We were tasked with digging out the beds at the back of the church and planting some new bulbs. We had one bed to a pair, and got to work. Turning over the soil and 'fluffing it up' a bit. Got to use a Bulb Planter tool, which was a first, found it quite effective, although thoughts differed here.

Think we managed to complete four beds before running out of time, which is four beds replete with vivid floral explosions in a couple of months, thanks to you.

Next week we're at Abbey Gardens, sign up here

Cheers
