We had lots of fun at Eltham junior parkrun today, marshaling and timekeeping for all the young runners and their grown-ups.

It was smiles all round.

This morning we gave the big conifer outside Danson House a proper makeover. First we battled through lots of very spiky plants, then spread a fresh circle of mulch all around the tree. It now looks brilliant – like it’s ready for a photo shoot!

We also collected a huge 29 bags of wilted grass, weeds and rubbish. The area looks so much tidier, and the tree is definitely the star of the show.

Well done team – spades, mulch and teamwork made the magic happen!

What a lovely afternoon helping at Parkview Care Home's Summer Party!

It was down to work as soon as we arrived!

Johnny was put on bunting duty, while Cat, Sarah and Martin were in charge of balloons to complete the decorations.

Then it was Pimms o'clock, mixing jugs of the cocktail and serving it - along with beer and soft drinks - to the residents and guests.

After that we helped with the raffle, before lending a hand to those who needed it at the buffet table.

The grand finale was handing round portions of that amazing cake, making sure no-one was forgotten.

After a spot of tidying up we said our goodbyes and headed home, happy that we'd helped the party go with a swing.

As the advertised task was cancelled late in the day we relocated to the Welling Library 📚.

It was a good job we did as it was totally overgrown again!

We all set to work with our secateurs and brooms 🧹. As you can see from the before and after pics we made it look perfect, ready for the public to enjoy in the morning.

We couldn't resist going for a drink and a snack after for Sarah's birthday 🎉 at Devis Corner ☕️🍺.
