This GG Richmond Group Run session saw us tackling the weeds at The Three Pigeons Plot.

As well as three pigeons and a heron, we were accompanied by midges and biting insects who, like us, were making the most of a beautiful evening by the River Thames. Tackling some of the nettles in the Plot added to the stings and sorrows of volunteer gardening but Liz, Chris, Rosie and Anita ignored the bites and stings and got stuck-in with a chatty and transformative session of weeding, watering and sweeping, leaving our riverside Plot blooming and beautiful.

Good fortune also came with the discovery of a donation of plants (a peony, a rose and an exotic looking bulb ) hidden away in the border. So many thanks you to our mystery donor.

Helping runners in the Ranelagh Half take water for drinks and pouring it over heads in the very hot morning weather! Enjoyed seeing people in action, cheering on, getting the cup handover technique perfected and catching up with Pippa!

A beautiful early summer evening to keep fit by doing good. We started at the Tap with a warm welcome to Mazin for the first time, and a lot of celebratory chat after Lucy completed the London Marathon yesterday 😍

Chatting away, we headed to Richmond CVS to collect this evening's leaflets before dividing up to cover the roads on the way up to Kew. Lovely doorways, demon letterboxes and evening sun kept us company as the wedge of leaflets receeded until it was time for us to call it a night and head off in our own directions!
