This week our planned cemetery seed sewing task was postponed so we were instead tasked with weeding a large roadside flowerbed.

After meeting up on Bute Street we had a run the long way round to the task while our two walkers went directly there. Recombined at the task our team got stuck in pulling the weeds from the bed and clearing up the litter within.

There were no brambles to deal with but the weeds had lots of very fine thorns that were very good at penetrating gloves! Pressing on despite them we massed a great big pile of weeds for collection by the council and exposed some Hollyhock plants that were still just about flowering and spread their seeds underfoot so we should see some more here next year.

After the task we headed to a park for a quick test of a new light based game to brighten up the dark evenings before heading home.
