We met up at Age UK Toothill to help spruce up the community centre. During the recent Covid crisis, the staff and helpers had been busy providing 10,000 meals for the elderly, which had been more essential than ever during the pandemic. This didn’t leave much time for gardening of course.

Luckily it was a nice late summer evening and we set off weeding, planting and trimming to improve the front of the centre. Sam and Adam were celebrating too.... not because they found some snails and worms, but because it was their first wedding anniversary this week! Many congrats you two 💝 (was that GG hen run really a year ago?!!).

Lily and Gina (complete with her tool handbag) tidied the front flower bed which oddly contained fake grass (needed a vacuum really), Becky replanted the two tubs with pretty bedding, Tracey danced around with her big hands (and weeded lots of steps), Jason cleared and shovelled the paving and I took lots of piccys (with some weeding thrown in).

A half time cuppa/ biscuits was well appreciated from Matt. Lovely evening with lots of chat. Ended up filling over ten bags with weeds, so a good evenings’ work by all.
