Cwtch N the beds

Cardiff Report written by Michael

With what looked like a potential rainy Tuesday again, we were worried that we may not achieve our goal this week......

2 TASK TUESDAY


Michael, our resident weather man kept a watchful eye on the Met Office App and assured everyone that the rain would not be coming in until 20:00...

We met at our usual place and split into our two groups of runners and walkers, everyone was meeting at Cwtch Together tonight to begin with. The runners were the first to arrive, just in time to meet with Flo who had made their own way to the task to donate their old dolls for use at the charity play group.

That deserves an extra deed


Michael said Helo to Jon, who was meeting us tonight in place of our usual Sarah. We quickly got the tools out to help with the garden. Michael meandered around the grounds, before briefing Flo who was taking ownership of the task tonight at Cwtch. There were some brambles starting to come through, as well as some 'Lords & Ladies' (Arum maculatum) popping up so the strimmer was needed to remove these, especially the 'Lords & Ladies' before it goes to seed in Autumn and spreads anymore.

Once the walking group arrived, we split into two groups for the second task. We bid farewell to Emma, Emma, Flo and Neda who were going to take on the Cwtch task.

Heading over to the Grange Medical Practice were, Michael, Aimee, Emily and Llion. We were greeted by Chris from Grow Cardiff, we had been here just 2 weeks earlier (read all about that here). Tonight's call was to get the soil delivery into the raised beds...

Shovels at the ready


Straight to work, we were digging soil from a bag straight into the beds on one side, whilst emptying another into wheelbarrows on the opposite side. Some strange conversations as Michael suddenly burst into song with a rendition of the theme tune to Poddington Peas..'Why' I hear you ask.... we still don't know.

This was a great workout with some heavy lifting added in once the bags were empty enough to lift straight into the raised beds. A great day this week with two tasks completed (3 with Flo's donations), thanks to all for joining in.

The task in a Bute of a community

Cardiff Report written by Michael

A good turnout tonight, especially considering that we changed our start day to Thursday for this task. Our first task with the wonderful new community centre for EYST supporting Ethinic Minority communities in Cardiff to provide vital support, resources and services to those who need it most.

We met at our usual start location of The Glassworks, where we split into our two groups.

  • Group 1 the walkie talkers, they were taking a more direct route of about 20 minutes walking.
  • Group 2 the joyful joggers, out on a longer distance to get up to that 5km total run (with both runs there and back).

Once both groups arrived, it was time to see this new task and meet the organiser.

Croeso Fateha

The original task was to clear the outside space for them, but this had already been completed by one of their eager volunteers. So instead, we were clearing some planters, sorting out their green waste bin and cutting back an overgrown large bush.

We had volunteers emptying the green bin into bags, it had been used for cardboard and plastic. Other volunteers were then filling the green bin with the green waste from the planters, leaving them ready to be planted up by the girls group in the community centre later on. And the final group were on the bush, chopping down the branches as much as possible.

It was soon time to leave, with some music playing on our running speaker. Hopefully we will be back soon for a painting task, so watch this space.

Join us next week, when we return to our usual Tuesday sessions for a pancake day run to Cwtch Together with optional eating afterwards...Sign Up required --------> HERE
