Three was the magic number as myself, Ros and Ingrid were the only members signed up to the task on Tuesday. That said we were not deterred by the small turnout and we jogged 7km to and from the task chatting all things training for Ros' upcoming HM (Vitality Big Half) along with Ingrid's deceptive pace after exclaiming shes a slow runner but she set the pace to and from our task.

We were met at the allotments by Pam from Unique Roots, she had various task for us to do watering the crops, weeding, putting together an attachment for the hose to connect to the tap, planting bulbs and most importantly harvesting strawberries.

Despite there being only three of us we were able to complete all the tasks Pam had, before bidding her farewell and headed back to Croydon.

Next week we'll be heading off on another long run to St Augustine's to do some work prior to the judging for London in Bloom sign up here.
