It was a cooler evening but still sunny and lovely. Eng-er-land were not playing football and so it was the perfect time for a run. We had two groups - one was going on a mega long run to help the Streatham Youth and Community Trust. Tom B led them off on a solid 7km each way jaunt up the hill and along the high road. Turn right at the Common and KEEP GOING. Phew!

On arrival the group protected the deck, got rid of some cob-webs , brushed the surroundings and even polished the glass. They finished this in 20 short minutes before heading back to Brixton again.

Katie led the rest of the team to Agnes Riley Gardens. Here we got chopping down some more trees, took up some weeds, cleared a path from sharp spiky bushes and generally did a lot of tidying. They were delighted and so were we. After holding a nice tree pose in the park on each leg, we ran back to base.

Great work Lambeth!

Another lovely sunny June evening and - as the last Tuesday of the month - the evening kicked off with the Shit Prize of the Month (SPOTM) award. This month Lavinia was awarded the coveted prize, which this month consisted of a Sky reusable mug with the phrase "Plastic is not fantastic." Not only does Lavinia now possess a truly unique and remarkable mug that will be the envy of all her friends, she can also save 50p when ordering a hot beverage from many popular coffee outlets across the length of Britain. CONGRATS!

The whole group headed 1.5km to Myatt's Field park. We met Helen, who is the park manager. She had lots of jobs for us and we started off with a nice history lesson. It turns out this lovely Victorian park was designed by Fanny Wilkinson - yes that's right, THE Fanny Wilkinson, one of the first professional women landscape gardeners and an active campaigner for women’s suffrage - you know the one. Hooray.

How great that a Victorian lady designed this park! Said everyone.

Helen was very organised and had A LIST, which we all deeply approved of. She split the group into 4. Group 1 went to disentangle some very tangly bindweed from some lovely lavender plants.

This is the best smelling task I have ever done! Said Tess, as she stood amidst the lavender.

Group 2 had lots of mops and buckets and wipey things and they cleaned a beautiful Victorian glass house from top to bottom. Group 3 pruned some roses that were quite dead and didn't have any leaves left on them and did some weeding.

I think you mean PETALS! Said Lucy.

Yes we did mean petals - and for all your other gardening needs, just ask Lucy. Group 4 took to the park armed with litter pickers and bags and did a huge clean up. Sadly in the summer months many people choose to enjoy the free space of the park but leave it in a right old mess after. Great work to the team for sorting it out but really, come on people, tidy up after yourselves!

After this we all took part in the GoodGym Olympics 1km challenge. JKB designed a pattern within the park and the rest did a speedy lap around the outside. There was some really good running and impressive times. Well done everyone. And with that it was back to Papa's for stretches then home.
