First off, congrats to Julian for reaching 100 good deeds at last weeks group run - he's already on 102!

This week we were back to Hither Green station embankment to continue laying the cardboard (very kindly delivered by Lewisham market) and then to continue laying the soil on top. Hopefully this will stop the weeds growing through and give the wildflower meadow the best chance of success!

We made a human chain and had the cardboard laid out in no time and then it was onto the hard work for the evening, shifting the soil into position which is now right at the other end of the area we were working in! Not only were our arms getting a work out but also we were definitely getting out steps in.

The mountain of soil is gradually getting smaller in size and even though we didn't manage to cover the entire area that we'd hoped to, we did cover a bigger area than last time. Fantastic work everyone, it wasn't an easy task!

Next week we are flying for the Age UK Christmas Fair in Blackheath. Sign up here!

And on Saturday morning, we are volunteering at Hilly Fields Parkrun so if anyone fancies a change from running then here's all the details.
