Cwtch N the beds

Cardiff Report written by Michael

With what looked like a potential rainy Tuesday again, we were worried that we may not achieve our goal this week......

2 TASK TUESDAY


Michael, our resident weather man kept a watchful eye on the Met Office App and assured everyone that the rain would not be coming in until 20:00...

We met at our usual place and split into our two groups of runners and walkers, everyone was meeting at Cwtch Together tonight to begin with. The runners were the first to arrive, just in time to meet with Flo who had made their own way to the task to donate their old dolls for use at the charity play group.

That deserves an extra deed


Michael said Helo to Jon, who was meeting us tonight in place of our usual Sarah. We quickly got the tools out to help with the garden. Michael meandered around the grounds, before briefing Flo who was taking ownership of the task tonight at Cwtch. There were some brambles starting to come through, as well as some 'Lords & Ladies' (Arum maculatum) popping up so the strimmer was needed to remove these, especially the 'Lords & Ladies' before it goes to seed in Autumn and spreads anymore.

Once the walking group arrived, we split into two groups for the second task. We bid farewell to Emma, Emma, Flo and Neda who were going to take on the Cwtch task.

Heading over to the Grange Medical Practice were, Michael, Aimee, Emily and Llion. We were greeted by Chris from Grow Cardiff, we had been here just 2 weeks earlier (read all about that here). Tonight's call was to get the soil delivery into the raised beds...

Shovels at the ready


Straight to work, we were digging soil from a bag straight into the beds on one side, whilst emptying another into wheelbarrows on the opposite side. Some strange conversations as Michael suddenly burst into song with a rendition of the theme tune to Poddington Peas..'Why' I hear you ask.... we still don't know.

This was a great workout with some heavy lifting added in once the bags were empty enough to lift straight into the raised beds. A great day this week with two tasks completed (3 with Flo's donations), thanks to all for joining in.

Join us next week for some fence painting fun, sign up here

Litter Split

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Due to circumstances out of our control our task for the evening had to cancel, and so we moved to the ever reliable litter pick. The weather was very changeable, and we had a yellow warning for rain and wind......quite a night for exercise.

We split into two groups, our walkers stayed in the City Centre and helped to clean it up, they even saw a duck or two. Who knew we had ducks in the City Centre....

The second group, the runners, made their way up to the alleys on Whitchurch road for a good clean. It was a nice run, followed by a walking litter pick, some interesting graffiti and items were seen. Unfortunately as we stopped for our group photo the rain started up again.

We ended extremely wet, but don't let that put you off coming back!
