Canal exploring walks, Margate tourism, working on Steve Coogan's new show, heading to Wales, taking in Rye, egg art and puns, watching a mental bike race in France and lastly going three days on the bounce to the pub. All of these activities have one thing in common, a long weekend. We need a four day working week people!
Smooth tarmac miles on the Greenway, with the ritual "is it this intersection?" chat, it's the fourth, someone please remember that! Mbemba welcomed us, showed us the tools and gave us the normal relaxed instructions, "trim here and weed there" he clearly has a lot of confidence in our gardening know-how. I don't think we let him down. Many bushes and trees were trimmed back to a more sightly and practical size. Weeds were weeded. At the end there was ten bin bags of green waste - decent for thirty mins work.
No session was done on the way home, I had planned one, then realised I wouldn't be able to keep up, felt very weak on that run. T'was all good, we had a nice chat as we trotted into a rather majestic sunrise.
Next week we head to Get Out Sign up here
