Huddling outside base, a warm air was punctuated as cold rain fell on team. We flew through an improvised question: "what's your favourite Parkrun - or run if you haven't done one, yet?" Upton Park, Valentine's Park, Holtham Parkrun, a run somewhere in Southampton, canal loop and Beckton coming in for the win for the jovial ways.

Down to Get Out Gardens, a first for Matt and Cat in the Bow permaculture haven. We were missold a planting session but had a solid stint at weeding instead. Two beds, two teams, several forks and trowels - we got to business. Catching up on life as we went along; Coronation concert line-up, Mexican tequila tasting, outsourcing work abroad, two week Half Marathon training plans and more.

The before and after pics look great (which I can't seem to upload). I do love a Wednesday eve at Get Out, such a compact biodiverse spot off the urban Bow rd. I'll book another one in there in a few weeks. But from one awesome green community space to another, next week it's Abbey Garden - sign up here

Get some lovely weekend miles in as the temp picks up a bit, see you'll next week.
