“Allot(ment)” fun in the sun (and the rain)!

Eight fabulous GoodGymers met up to help at the TWIGS Community Garden allotments. The sun had been shining all day and it was looking like a warm spring task.
We ran and walked the few miles to the task. (Some even ran further as they missed the turning!). The volunteer coordinator had sent various instructions and directions; the first one was to find the gate key hidden in a jam jar!
Tasks included planting runner beans, mowing the allotment walkways, watering in the poly tunnels and digging up thistles. However, the heavens then opened. This didn’t deter some, who carried on regardless!
It was great to all catch up again, after a couple of years apart. Left us all “fuzzy” feeling (or was that a “soggy” feeling from the rain!!).
