We couldn’t herb our enthusiasm on our new task this evening.

We were helping Mark who is leading the Support Cafe from St John the Baptist Cand St Michael Manor Park Church on Stoke Poges Lane.

The cafe will be a hub for local families and residents to come and have a hot meal, read a paper, get some advise or just somewhere to be.

Our task was to help cut back the vegetation in the outside grounds.

We started our evening at Salt Hill Park where we went through the task brief and had a brief warm up. Then the walkers went out walking whilst the runners did what runners do… a lot of faffing, until we were ready to leave.

On arrival we were met by Mark from the Support Community Cafe and the Reverend Suzanne who gave us the task lowdown.

Hoe Hoe Hoe… it’s off to Church we go

With plenty of weeding needed we grabbed a tool each and got to work.

Sara and Pam took the section nearest the Church as they wanted to discuss a day in the leaf with the best tool for the job! The hoe!

Jean and Abdulaziz took the side elevation and got a twiggle on to finish that.

Sandy and Gauri took the front left section as they caught up with each other - think they wanted some peas and quiet from the rest of us.

Whilst Agnija and I had just the thicket with our tools.

No need to cut it vine tonight! Within just 35 minutes we had cleared all the weeds and swept them all up!

Our good weed for the day was done!

Next week we will be back at this task but on Tuesday as Monday is now a bank holiday.
