Chairs stacked, crockery washed, tables folded. And the mystery of the disappearing bin unfolded. Rob reappeared with the culprit having emptied it outside. Resulting in the question: Where you bin?

Another busy session at the food bank. 18 parcels were given out and a whole host of people enjoyed the cafe offerings, including home made chicken soup and cakes.

Two goodgymers, two dogs, two pairs of trainers and two socks on this lunchtime litterpick.

With Olly and Buster cheering us on, it didn't take long to transform this green space.

Today was a split task of pruning the rose bushes or weeding the beds ready for planting. I chose to do the weeding which was pretty mindful, and meant we could have a good chat along the way. Someone quoted a Buddhist saying which seemed quite apt with Spring here and keeping the mind healthy "Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the Seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds" - tiny Buddha.com. The sunny weather was also energising and the time spent preparing the earth very satisfying. We sat outside with our drinks and biscuits after we'd finished feeling very relaxed and ready to move on through the day.

Today was another fairly quiet day at the All Saints foodbank. Midway saw Richard do a bit of housekeeping with the Henry Hoover (photo opportunity missed unfortunately!) . Today's cake of the day was Banana and Coconut (sampled 😋) . The unloved cans of Bamboo Shoots (sliced) , and Tofu Chunks (in water) made an appearance on the swaps table again. It's a mystery why nobody wants them. 🤔🤭 Anyone got any recipes?

The weather forecast meant a change of plan from Brenda at the People's Memorial.

We were tasked with clearing out the weeds from the flag bed and planting some colourful flowers.

The favourite was definitely the Viola Fizzle Sizzle!!

We then cleared the other flower bed of weeds and said our goodbyes.

A much clearer, brighter space!
