We spent a lovely morning at CoFarm helping Abbey People with maintaining the farm. It was great to have Ann back with us, and she and Catherine and I were able to have a nice catch-up. We also managed to clear a large area of Fat Hen, which I've learned is considered a weed but is also cultivated as a food in some areas of the world. My fun fact for today!

This morning, we made the most of the lovely weather and helped out at the 3rd Brook Leys parkrun. 👟👟

I arrived nice and early for pre-event set-up, starting with helping to set up the finish funnel. Ann arrived shortly after, meeting us at the shipping container near the start/finish. Together, we walked the route around the lake to put up signs helping runners navigate this new course. 🧭

When the time came, I headed to the start line and Ann to her marshal spot. We had a fantastic time running with and cheering on over 500 runners and walkers. 🏃‍♀️👏

A huge well done to all who took part and volunteered to make this event possible! A very wholesome start to the weekend. ☺️

A lovely sunny morning pruning gooseberry bushes and apple trees at Margaret Wright Community Orchard.

We learned lots from Leo about how to shape properly, looking out for branches growing into the centre of the tree and those that would block the light of others. For a first go, we were pleased with the outcome!

It was lovely to meet new a GoodGymer,Sophia, and thanks to the team from Abbey People for being so welcoming. We look forward to next time.
