Last Saturday, we had a wonderful time as dancing queens - Catherine, Lucy, Maisy and Jo (and Nugget the dog) - helped to shape the turf and bring the Labyrinth to life at All Saints Church garden in Leamington Spa. Under the expert guidance of Lucie from ARC (Achieving Results in Communities), we made great progress. While the delivery of perennials and bulbs has been delayed, we focused on digging out the planted sections of this intricate and beautiful Labyrinth. It was a perfect day to be outdoors, followed by a lovely cuppa and a biscuit to wrap it all up. This is an ongoing project, so if you'd like to get involved, there will be future sessions where you can join us in creating this amazing space.

Well, yes—it truly was a pile of old rubbish. While not as much as in previous litter pick sessions, Catherine and Joannah still collected quite a bit along the Grand Union Canal in Leamington Spa yesterday morning. Among the usual mix of empty cans, bottles, and dog-poo bags, they found an abandoned handbag and a lonely shoe (how does someone even lose a single shoe?!).

Afterwards, a well-earned coffee was enjoyed in the sunshine at Costa near Morrisons in Leamington, where Costa very kindly took care of disposing of the rubbish for us. Big thanks to them!
