After a couple of months of cancellations due to the RIDICULOUS amounts of rain we've had this winter, we finally made it to the new Oxfordshire parkrun!

Kilkenny Lane County parkrun takes place in a gorgeous park, complete with a fabulous adventure playground, beautiful hedgerows and a decent amount of mud! We also enjoyed the (quite sassy) horse sculptures.

After a thorough briefing we completed our 2 laps, posed for the all important sign photo (because otherwise DID IT HAPPEN?!?) and set off for coffee, breakfasts and an awesome pancake stack!

Oh we DO love parkrun!

A balmy spring (yay!) evening saw us back at Rose Hill Junior Youth Club, picking up our help with their preparations for new planters, to make the site just that little bit brighter.

Standing on the ground we'd previously cleared of shrubs, Meg ran us all through what was needed - part filling the newly delivered planters with small pieces of wood and topping up with compost from a GIGANTIC compost sack - a great arm and abs workout.

With so many of us, we even managed to form a splinter group to pick up some of the litter both on- site and in the surrounding streets - featuring chat about what makes a good litter picker (good grippy prongs) and multiple fun running and cycling escapades.

Looking forward to seeing the planters in all their glory!

Welcome to the group, Elsa!
