Four of us met up at our GG base at Wanstead House where they’d asked us if we could help out with tidying the grounds. We had a little welcome chat with our newest member Daniel who was already well read on the GG ethos and eager to get going. Peter had got together some handy tools so, with a leaf blower, garden vacuum, shovels, bins and brooms we set to work. James and Linda took to the power tools Daniel and Peter had to rough it with the manual ones and pretty soon between us we had got the carpark and paths cleared of debris. Our newbie worked with energy and enthusiasm, nice one Daniel a very welcome addition to the group, hope to see you again soon. Popping in the office, to drop off some lost property we’d found, the task owner expressed profuse thanks for the work we’d done. Too hot and bothered for a run we took a short cool down walk round Wanstead before setting off for home.
