Last night, we laced up our running and walking shoes and headed to the Wonder Zone Nursery in Welling. It was our first visit to this lovely small nursery and we were met by Olu, one of the directors, who welcomed us with a friendly smile and a long list of tasks 📄.

We started at the top of the list: tackling the driveway that led up to the nursery gates. It was a bit overgrown and untidy, so half the team grabbed secateurs and loppers and cut back the greenery along one side of the drive 🌿. As we snipped away at the brambles, we couldn't help eating the blackberries along the way. 🍇 Nature's snack!

The other half of the team got busy weeding and sweeping the rest of the drive. We soon discovered that the old 'collect everything in black bags' method wasn't going to work . So Olu brought out the big guns — a massive bin that we quickly filled with cuttings, fallen leaves, weeds, and other debris.

With the hard work done, we switched gears and reverted to our childhood selves with a cheeky play on the playground equipment. Just proving that we're all big kids at heart.

As always, we rounded things off with the classic team photo, although we resisted the urge to all clamber onto the climbing frame at once. As fun as that sounded, testing its weight limit wasn’t the grand finale we were aiming for! 📸

After our productive evening, we wrapped things up with a well-deserved drink at the local Weatherspoons. 🍷🍺☕

Thanks to Olu and the Wonder Zone Nursery for hosting us. There's lots more still to do on that list and we hope you'll have us back soon. 🌟
