The mission was to take old hay from the little calves and bring new one, but they did not agree and ate everything they could. They were adorable!! So we let them! We also gave them fresh water and picked up apples for the little pigglets. What a great day!

Sam, Olive and Anna joined a bunch of other volunteers this morning at junior parkrun. A glorious morning, with 175 making it 2km round the park to cheers and high fives. Lovely stuff.

Today I volunterted for the first time at Bermondsey Central Hall Pantry, helping the foodbank team with sorting and stocking the pantry, it was an enjoyable session.

Well, it's going to be a part two. I wasn't going to plant heather in standard multigrow - it has to be ericaceous compost! Going back on Monday.

Although our community gardening session was cancelled last night, it turned into the perfect chance for a bit of litter picking instead. We gathered at Old Spike before heading out for a run around Peckham Rye Park, then split into three teams for the clean-up.

To make things even more fun, there were prizes up for grabs: the best “G” item for GoodGym, the most “South London” find, and the piece most likely to belong in a modern art museum. In true diplomatic style, each team came away with a win—so everyone left happy!

We finished with a run back to Old Spike, a well-earned cool down, and then headed home feeling accomplished.

I helped Mrs M turn the soil in her already lovely garden, so that she could pot some of her plants
