The earth was hard and the weeds reluctant to be uprooted but thankfully we were able to find plenty of shade for our park tidying work during this week’s heatwave. The evening breeze brought welcome relief and there was even some lovely background music provided by a sax player practising on a nearby bench! Claire and Claudia tackled a stubborn patch of grass that had overtaken a bed under some trees, while Linda joined Friends of Cator Park volunteers in weeding around roses and constructing a cane wigwam to support climbers. We all agreed it was nice to be outside doing a good deed – Clare’s 45th, Claudia’s 43rd and Linda’s 40th so there may be a bit of friendly rivalry over coming weeks as we set our sights on earning our Goodgym black T shirts!
