Camden is a special place under a summer evening sky.

Jackie, John, and I met in St Pancras, where we started our evening limbering our limbs and catching up on the week past.

We worked our way northwards past Camden Market and through Kentish Town, sharing election chatter, dodging passersby, and pausing to pass a peaceful protest just south of Tufnell Park.

Arriving at the special Ingestre Community Centre, our old friend (and former Camden AA!), Pete, welcomed us with fresh blooms donated from the Chelsea Flower Show. Our new friend, Faye, arrived soon after, and we collectively got to revitalising several weed-heavy flower beds bordering the estate's roads.

I cannot tell you the names of the donated blooms. But I can tell you they looked floral. And bright. Some were colourful, others were leafy.

Across 50 minutes, we pruned, dug, planted, and watered, and these beds looked very special under a fading summer evening sky.

You check out our Instagram post from the evening here!!

Nice one, and here's to next time!!
