The weather was quite a bit different today compared to our last visit to Felling Park; instead of torrential rain (read about that madness here) we had glorious sunshine and a pleasant breeze as we helped out Friends of Felling Park with their post-lockdown spruce up.

It was wonderful to see some OG Goodgymers, Liz and Carol Anne again after our break, and also to see Lauren who achieved her 10th Good Deed today after a long wait due to the lockdown! Liz also achieved 100 Good Deeds through continuing her Coach Visits. Go give them all a cheer!

I arrived a little late but the three ladies were already making themselves at home with a cup of coffee, before we headed up to the top of the park for some planting and weeding. Tim gave us the nice job first of planting some chrysanthemums, marigolds and fuchsia to fill up the empty beds. Then we got to work with hoes and trowels, clearing the weeds from the edge of the grassy areas. Some were pretty tough but we managed to get the whole job done in a couple of hours and had a lovely chat as we made our way round the path.

All swept and tidied, we bid farewell but are sure to be back for another task as there are still lots of jobs Friends of Felling Park would like our help with. Watch this space!
