We had a change of plan tonight after postponing Project Planter for another day. Fortunately, we found the perfect substitute for our collective tonight as we tidied up a lovely street garden for the folks of Wood Street South Gardening Club.

Met by our industrious contact, Stavros, we armed ourselves with the necessary gloves, rakes, spades etc. that we needed to complete the task in hand.

Accompanied by the enthusiastic barking of a large dog (thankfully it was hidden away behind a tall wall!) we got cracking. It was an honour to be graced by the presence of Jo Loxton tonight, one of our founder volunteers. Jo works so hard we don't see her as much as we would like. It was, of course, great to see everyone else too tonight and what a hard-working and organised bunch they were. Before you could say mulch, they had filled two large bins with about 100kgs of soggy leaves.

After that is was a quick jog to return our tools before doing some intervals around St Mary's Churchyard. Splendid.

I hope you can join us next week for the last Group Run of the decade. After a decent 4km run to the task we will be helping to clean a church in readiness for the Christmas festivities. I hope to see you there and you can sign-up here
