What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang!
In 30 degrees heat, we braved a short run up to the OWLS allotments. We've not been in a while so it needed some serious weeding but as there was 18 of us we got loads done and it looked so much better when we left! Adam wheeled Jubz around in a wheelbarrow full of insects, hopefully you've not been bitten Jubz!
We then headed back to Heart for a drink, chips and some lovely Indian cakes curtesy of Jubz's mum, thank you! :) The topics of conversation included erm cake & getting ticks in awkward places!
Great work team!

Tonight we met at Heart and split into two teams to deliver the OWLS Hooters. Kat & Helen were one team & Christian and I were the other. We did 6.5K & delivered all the leaflets to their local service users.
Good work all & thanks to Christian for slowing down to my pace!

We had another fantastic evening up at OWLS allotments in Headingley. We weeded large parts of the plot as usual and no doubt will do it all again next month! Jubz was very generous and gifted the group a selfie stick so that we can finally all get in pictures. He also wore his shirt backwards which everyone was too polite to point out (apart from me)! Congratulations to Shannen on her 40th good deed tonight & to Christian on his 42nd (sorry I missed your 40th)! You guys are awesome! Well done team and thanks for a great evening.

Today, 3 of us met to tackle the Bramley OWLS garden's and the corner of overgrowth. We weren't sure what we would find, but there was lots and lots of ivy underneath. We filled several bags with debris and then created a compost heap in the corner. A good strim is needed to clear the rest. Good work ladies!

In the words of Rachel, 'what a wholesome evening!'
After a very hot run, it was so nice to be back up at the OWLS allotments on a lovely warm evening. We weeded several beds & paths & as there was 13 of us, we made a huge difference by the time we left. I'm always amazed by how much we can get done in an hour! This will allow the OWLS service users to focus on the fun stuff, planting and seeing to all the vegetables they're planting this summer.
Welcome to Ankita on her first Wednesday session & welcome back to Kawan.
