Fantastic to join the Bristol BID team in sprucing up the bins in the city centre as part of the initiative to build community ownership of Bristol.

A choice of litter picking or refreshing some bins with Bristol Blue, the painting won hands down!

More watering watered, lots of leaves down - are the seasons changed enough yet?

It was great.

Wednesday watering got off to a slow start as a large quantity of flies were around the main water butt and a smell indicating someone had been using the area as their personal loo.

Not to be defeated, we made use of the less-well-supplied water butt and still have the plants a good drink to see them through another week, hoping that the human waste has been cleaned up by next week, and the rain has replenished the “other” water butt, too.

There was still time for a good natter over coffee and tea at Santiago’s.

It was great to be joined by Chris for his first GoodGym good deed withe wandering, watering and then wittering and sipping as we continued chatting over tea and coffee at the lovely Santiago's - same again next week?

With a bit of de ja vu, it was back to Marlborough Steps for year 3 of nurturing the plants in the beautifully painted renovated short cut to the Very Steep Hill, followed by a cuppa and more chat.
