On Wednesday, we ran 6pm to YHA Thameside to help with some weeding. James navigated us there. We arrived in the hot and humid weather, just as a large group of school children were checking in. Emma and Jessie met us there. Amongst the chaos, we found a staff member who showed us where we needed to weed, as well as giving us some large jugs of water.

Once we finished, we headed off back to Peckham. The route back was chosen democratically. I was very tired.

Today was a busy hot one at the Farm! We started by filling up the flower beds and moving dirt from the glasshouse all the way to the back of the estate near the ducks—plenty of shoveling and wheelbarrow action.

With the heat kicking in, we ended up swapping teams to keep things flowing smoothly. Thankfully, Pat came through with a surprise “rain shower” by turning on the water sprinklers in the glasshouse—instant refresh!

To wrap things up, we fed the piglets and the rest of the gang, including Rollo and his pregnant partner. Safe to say, everyone (two-legged and four-legged) had a solid day!

Mowed the lawn, cut a hedge, trimmed some bushes and weeded the borders. Job done!

Some confusion, but we managed to sort out the shed.

Watering the hydrangeas and cutting back Jasmine that is starting to creep into the roof tiles.

If it’s Sunday, it’s junior Parkrun Day. This hot and sunny morning 102 children completed their 2 k run at Peckham Rye junior Parkrun. The event was supported by two Goodgemrs too, Brenda from Goodgym Croydon and Olive, who were marshalling on the course.
