A sunny cycle ride during my lunch break to revisit my last good deed "Say Trees" before I had to self-isolate and then have the lockdown. It's been nearly 8 weeks and everything is blooming lovely!

I set off with enough water for a tree-o (a trio of trees) in my backpack but upon arrival I encountered an elderly man already watering the cherry trees in the side park (how blooming lovely of him)! So I focused my efforts on the main enclosure with a baby tree and the small tree shrubs, and flowers we planted amongst the bushes. Also found some litter there which I gathered up for the park bins.

This was the best kind of lunch break I could have asked for, sunny cycle, watering trees and seeing what a difference an old good deed has made to a communal space :)
