.. And it really was a glorious feeling, being a lot cooler than the past week! Even though the rain wasn't ideal for welcoming Rebecca today, who joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Today, we joined the Park Gardener and 3 other regular volunteers to weed the rose beds. The mix of sunshine and now rain had not only brought the roses into full bloom, but also produced some very tall weeds. The beds are now looking much clearer after our efforts and the roses are smelling sublime. You can see a sample of how beautiful they are in terms of the colours and how the rain is making them glisten.

The Rose Garden, adjacent to Canoe Lake, is also worth a visit if you're passing. After some welcome refreshments, we went on our way.
