A rake’s progress is a series of paintings by William Hogarth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rake%27s_Progress ) in which the protagonist descends into villainy and ultimately receives the worst possible comeuppance. Fortunately, the only things suffering death and dissection today had been the Christmas trees of the borough of Bexley and Good Gym was there to put the remains to use.
Having both completed the rather lovely Danson parkrun, two runners joined the friends of Danson Park for their monthly volunteer activity. Recent rains had left many of the paths through the park barely useable but four large piles of woodchips had been delivered to mitigate the problem. The volunteers split into two groups and both had the same aim: transfer the woodchip to wheelbarrows, take the wheelbarrows down the path to be emptied and rake the deposited woodchips along the path to create dry useable sections. As there were a lot of volunteers the piles were soon reduced from hills to minor bumps and before long a new wooden path was snaking through the woods for the local walkers and runners to take advantage of.
Volunteers working to enhance and increase the Danson Park's environmental and ecological sustainability, and support other groups working within the Park and Danson House.
