We gathered at Glass Mill slightly nervous of the threat of rain after Jenny warned us of the weather warning in place...but no one had been deterred by it or hadn't seen it (like me) so we had a full house of those signed up. Welcome back Khai, hope you enjoyed your return to GG Lewisham - don't leave it a year next time!

Our quick warm up consisted of chasing each other round in circles and then it was onwards and upwards to Luxmore Gardens. A hidden gem of a garden in New Cross.

The tasks for the evening were to clear the bed of weeds and at first glance there's not always a lot of weeds obvious to our (still after many years) untrained eye for spotting weeds but that flower bed was full of them!

The next task was to cut back the ivy and roses that were overhanging the birds (see photo).

Then all of a sudden it dramatically began to absolutely pour down. Luckily I'd been saying we had 2min left for the past 5min so it was time to pack up tools and head away from the shelter of the trees to run back down to Glass Mill.

Next week we are heading to Seniors and then there's a post-group run social (location tbc).
