Folks, I hand you the weather controls - if you could escape this evening's touch of heat and stifle, what would you change the weather too?
Which is how we started our time together on Wednesday.
We had the same but a little cooler - and storms - even snow.
Oh, and also cyclone... I always love a little evening gardening in a cyclone.
Anyway!!
We started smiling, and after limbering and loosening our bodies, we took a longer round-a-bout route through a summer evening Greenwich Park, before flowing down Maze Hill into one of our old haunts, More2Childcare.
Since our last visit, nature has visited, and a good group of us got straight to grouting the paving, weeding the beds, and pruning the overhangs; whilst another group headed out back for painting fences and blackboards, jet washing chairs, and building a quite wonderful drain-based game.
Every year, More2 takes an August week when they shut their doors for a reset and refresh, and it was a joy to have our group get to grips with so many jobs so quickly - we filled 6-7 bags of overgrown nature, added the paint and cleaned the chairs that'll give More2 a new-school-year sheen, and shaped a game to keep More2's kids busy and happy.
You did so much this week, folks, and looking forward to seeing you again soon!
