Charlotte, John, Lindsay and Sam met up at the Wildlife Triangle on Elmington Estate to move a massive pile of woodchip. The issue was Alice, the task owner, wasn't present.

After using various means of getting in contact with Alice and fifteen minutes later, Catalina got in touch. We met her at the allotments to collect the tools needed to move the woodchip.

After two rounds moving woodchip to an area where they were growing herbs, Sam and Lindsay swapped with Charlotte and John. This time they would be transporting the woodchip and we would be shovelling.

Yet, despite the late start and intermittent downpours, we finished moving as much woodchip as we could in 45 minutes. Just in time for the rainbow 🌈 to come out on the last day of Pride ☺️

Thanks John - playing catch up on deeds as May was quite low due to weekends away ;) got another holiday at the end of July, so need to ramp up good deeds at the start of the month to keep up with my yearly and overall targets - beat the current record of 333 good deeds in a year (bonus: 365 good deeds in a year - "a good deed a day") and get to my 1,000th by my 4th anniversary with GG (Mar 2023)! No easy feat and a challenge for sure.
