There were 8 of us at this week's Group Run.

Congratulations to Andrea on completing her 10th good deed! I had forgotten this until today so apologies for not mentioning it last night.

We only had just over 1km to run each way tonight, so a nice short one. It felt like old times with randomers trying to join in with our warm-up.

We arrived at St Alban Church and the lovely Catherine and her team greeted us with plants, tools plus cakes and water... what a way to lure us in to returning on a regular basis ;-)

The task in hand was to weed a flower bed then plant some wonderful looking new plants and shrubs. As with anything in life, nothing is that straight forward and we had to shovel, fork, lift, cry (not really) to remove some large bricks, concrete and pottery to get through the ground, which of course we did!

The before and after photos look great. Catherine and her team were so grateful and appreciative for our help, it makes it all worth while and reminds us how amazing GoodGym is.

Next week's session is on the Saturday as we visit Mousehold Heath.

Sanctuary garden lavender planting
Weeding a flower bed and planting 20 lavcendar plants

At the Sanctuary we have a community cafe which is open midweek and occasionally at weekends for events. The garden is well used by local people and it needs a bit of TLC. I have bought some lavender to spruce up the flower bed, and it is also in need of some weeding.
