Double task week and a double new GG-er's week - my favourite kind of week. Welcome Kirsti and Olga, we hope to see you at many more group runs!

In the continued saga of my Kim-jury, I was taking public transport to the task after being told I'm not allowed to cycle. Paul and Oli kindly led their groups to the correct tasks - thank you!

The tasks for this evening were to clear the litter at The Albany and clear the weeds at Florence Green. Fortunately for the hedges but unfortunately for us, the dry weather had meant that there weren't as many weeds as we expected!

Don't forget it's the grand opening party of Florence Green on Sunday!

A small but mighty group headed up and over the hills to Seniors to tackle the big tasks in the garden. Our visits mean that the Gardening Team don't have to be turning the compost or digging the vegetable beds.

We ran and cycled over to Seniors to be greeted by Alice and team who needed our help with the compost, planting sweetcorn and tomatoes, planting a herb garden and watering the garden.

We got stuck into it and before long Oli was an expert at planting plants following Alice's process and even managed to not get any of the stinky but nutrient dense alkinet "tea" on him.

After some confusion with the hosepipe and lawnmower, it was time to down tools and pick up our mode of transport for the group photo. Once we were assembled and multiple photos taken it was time to bid our farewells.

Some of us tackled the hills to Glass Mill and one of us enjoyed the down hill cycle to Catford...

An unusual week for us with a double task and a double mode of transport! We had 2 tasks in need of help tackling the weeks: Luxmore Garden and Florence Green.

Welcome to Philippa it was her first ever good deed and we hope to see you again soon!

Whilst Paul led the warm up I cycled off up the hill to wait at Luxmore for everyone to arrive (I can confirm that hill is just as bad when cycling). Once everyone arrived and the small group of Marta and Alison had headed to Florence Green to join Vic and Julian. It was time to get stuck into some weeding at both tasks.

The key thing at Luxmore is to always leave the ornamental grass but take out the non-ornamental grass which we always find tricky! There was plenty of alkinet and other weeds to be pulling up as well.

Over at Florence Green, the weeds between the hedge saplings that we helped plant needed to be removed to give the best chance of the hedges growing big and strong.

It was time to regroup as a whole group for the group photo and then back down the hill to Glass Mill.

Next weeks task is to Seniors!

To quote Marta "Thanks everyone! Very happy to have had 900 opportunities to spend time with amazing people like you guys!! ❤️". Well we're more than happy to share you with Greenwich and to celebrate the amazing achievement of 900 good deeds! You might have to wait another 100 good deeds for a tshirt and with your current rate of good deeds, we'll need to get planning for that one soon.

The task for the evening was to Alexander Care Home in Ladywell to continue tackling the weeds in the garden. We made a good dent in the flower beds last time and now this time we were focusing on the gaps in the pacing stones and the alkinet and brambles at the back of the garden.

The group then took a leisurely walk to keep me company on the short journey to Mamma Dough. It was good to chat about Charlotte Church, Marta staring in a gameshow, Saturday morning TV and the Pope visiting Charlton.

Thanks to Paul for getting the group to the task whilst I jumped on the bus. Next week is a double task so we need all hands on deck to tackle weeds at both Florence Green and Luxmore Garden.
