3-2-1- GO!
We were there supporting 73 youngsters running the rainy 2k Eltham juniors parkrun 🏃🏻♀️🏃♂️.
We cheered them around the two laps with plenty of high-fives ✋️✋️, and took their times as they crossed the finishing line ⏱️ 🏁.
This is such a great way to start a Sunday, especially with a coffee at a local cafe afterwards ☕️!
Come along and join us next time!

Bexley Report written by Sarah W
Who needs the gym when you have an overgrown flower bed and its underlying weed membrane to clear?
This is certainly the case at Holy Trinity Lamorbey Church where we are helping to tidy up the flower beds along their perimeter wall. Left untended for a long time, brambles and weeds have well-and-truly taken over and this was our second visit to continue the makeover.
This time we were tackling a stretch next to the border that we'd cleared on our last visit.
Alongside parishioner Kevin, team Lisa-Sarah-Karen-and-Susan cut back and dug out the greenery then heaved out the buried and tired weed membrane, wheel-barrowing all the debris to a collection point in the woodland area. It was a good workout in the evening heat 💪.
The bed now looks much tidier and the newly-exposed soil will have a chance to recover ready for planting in due course 🌻 .
At the same time, team Johhny-and-Martin tackled a few cheeky brambles 🌿 that had grown back in the patch we cleared last time. It took lots of effort digging out the roots but hopefully they'll be kept at bay for a while.
From our arrival at 7pm to our finish at 8pm the difference was clear for all to see. So it was time to open some bubbles 🍾 and cut the cake to mark Lisa 's 50th good deed. The celebrations continued with a toast at the micropub across the road. Well done, Lisa 🎊.
As an unexpected surprise across the evening Susan told us that her parents were married in this church 💒. This gives us an extra-special reason to keep lending a hand here 💕.
We'll be back again on Wednesday 13 August so sign up now to join us!
