Finally, a day that resembled a thing called summer, celebrations came in the form of a trip to The Up Garden, and I got a new bike. Hils, Dan, Charlotte and I caught up at base, discussing the lows of a potent combo of E.coli and covid, the reason we have been without our sassiest one for too long. RWQ was "weirdest thing you've eaten?" we had snails, alternative meat buffet, floating sausauge in a broth and the final answer is redacted due to threats against my life. But I'll probably tell you if you buy me a pint, or two. Additionally, grasshoppers, hedgehogs and pig guts were a few answers we got at the task. I thought I knew you guys...
Speaking of the task, it was a delightful sunset hour where we weeded, finished off prepping a new bed with sand and soil...the time flew. I learned a bit about wildflowers, how to cook a hedgehog in clay, Dan's brother who's literally helping find a cure for cancer (you can't compete with that, Dan) and accidentally eavesdropping into some salacious details about Charlotte and Rosa's personal life. All in an evening's work.
Next week we've got a new session at a Church Garden. Cleanse yourself of sins before we set foot please, you know who you are. No, but seriously, it's a new one and I'm excited, as is a lady called Sybil, who really needs some younger energy to get stuff done. That's us, btw. Sign up here
Right, have a lovely week and weekend peeps.
Till next week,
B
