I completed park run this morning and before heading to the goodgym task, I briefly spoke to a friend. We spoke about how running sometimes feels like your mind is saying no, despite your body still having a lot of energy. Does anyone feel like that too?

This morning Flo, Max and I helped Mr J turn over one of his raised beds. The bed had previously been home to some courgettes. In recent years the bed had been chilling with a sole occupation to be a raised bed.

We all spent the entirety of the time, tending to the raised bed. Where do you draw the line and when does a raised bed become a raised bed free of weeds?

Mr J was grateful for us coming to help. Keep a look out for future tasks to help Mr J.

All are welcome to the task on Monday. Meet at 18:15 at Stepney Bank Stables.

The transformation of the car park will allow us to host community events for people in the Bensham and environs community. We plan the donate produce grown in the allotment to families, food banks, and food kitchens in the area.
