I gnome what you did last summer.

It was a rainy day, but it seems like the dedicated group was not going to let that spoil their fun to go help at Mason’s Lodge. We warmed up by doing some side steps through post and doing various leg routines. The group seems to love their drink because when we did the head count, I asked the group to name their favour drinks and it all seemed to be related to alcohol (I can see why they start in a bar). It was about a about a 2 mile run which seemed longer due to all the traffic lights that turned Red on us halting our steady progression towards the task. Ercole was leading the pack with a mixture of Ramon, Jo and Roslind covering our rear. As We reached the place, the group was reminiscing on the work that they have done their previously. This was planting rose bushes. The task was to weed and clear the leaves so the place looks nicer and there will be less of a chance that anyone will slip on the leaves. Th group did a wonderful job and you can really tell the difference. Hopefully resident will get a chance to enjoy a walk in the garden when the rain stops. The run back was a lot easier because we decided to go through the back streets and avoid all traffic lights. Next week we might be lucky to get a few yoga moves bestowed upon us by Jo and maybe a little fitness session.
