On a humid Saturday morning we managed to find some shelter in the woods just off the Star and Garter Hill. The all-knowledgable Ken explained how rain water runs from the high point of King Henry's mound in Richmond Park all the way to the woods and into a stream, which was partially blocked with vegetation, so we set about clearing it. We also spotted an invasive Norwegian maple and cut it back. There was seven of us from GoodGym on the task including Lucy and her cousin Tilly and a young lad who's completing his Duke of Edinburgh gold award.

Afterwards we went for a coffee and a bite to eat in the café in the magnificent Terrace "mini Kew" Gardens.
