We returned to South Oxford Community Centre to finish the gardening tasks we were unable to do last month. This time the bulk bags of compost and woodchip had been delivered, so with buckets, trugs and a wheelbarrow we set to work to load it into the big raised bed along the park railings.

Intelligence test was supplied thanks to an awkward hose-tap attachment, weeding and sweeping was done, the whole park was thoroughly litter picked, and both bulk bags were successfully redistributed into the raised bed, plus all plants were given a good drench.

More random than normal: ballet dancers in the courtyard.
Most photogenic attendee: Django the dog.

We retreated to the park post-task for picnicing, swimming in the lake, paddling, and playing with Django - a lovely way to mark Ben's last Wednesday task with us before he moves north to Manchester. You'll be missed Ben!

Congratulations on reaching the 10 GoodDeeds milestone Anja.
