A chilly Monday November evening saw four GGRs put in a hole lot of effort in planting bulbs for Petersham Common.

Ken , assisted Manuela set about getting to the bottom of things by digging the hole that the bulbs would be planted into.

Soon they were joined by Adam and Sam , following their run from the Tap Tavern.

We successfully then budded together to plant around 300 bulbs, which will hopefully become un-bud-lievable in the spring time!

A bright Halloween morning saw 5 GGers gather at the Short Lot allotments by Kew Bridge.

The team welcomed us and explained that help was needed on some of the lots held by older members who were less able to manage heavier physical work.

Chris and Adam got to work on one plot while Alex and Manuela took the other, soon joined by JP. We got stuck in to weeding and tidying and soon saw the fruits of our labours - literally, where there were gooseberry and raspberry bushes.

A solid good deed on a bracing morning was rewarded with tea and coffee, before we headed off for a spooky Saturday.

There must have been a poltergeist or spooky ghosts on the loose in Richmond, causing havoc and some last minute change of tasks.

An awesome foursome were out posting leaflets for Richmond Aid, a charity that supports local disabled people to live their best lives. Specifically, we were spreading the news about the upcoming ‘Time To Shine’ awards, witch aims to celebrate the contributions and achievements of disabled people in the Richmond Boo-rough.

It wasn’t long before all the flyers had been posted through letter boxes. Ghoul achieved. In true Halloween spirit we were joined by a feline friend for the evening, and we even managed to avoid the rain.
