This week we were heading back over to Saint Swithun's church to tackle the weeds. As soon as we arrived we noticed the amazing display of colours from the tulips and other flowers I don't know the name of but I do know that we planted them at a community mission some months back.
The task for this evening was weeding, weeding and more weeding. We divided the tools amongst us and a team headed out onto the pavement to clear the weeds along the fence line whilst the rest of the group tacked the weeds in between the plants and anywhere else they could find them.
It didn't take us long to clear as much as we could and with the tools we had. There was just one stubborn patch of grass that didn't want to be removed.
With all the weeds bagged up into black bin bags it was time for a quick group photo around the only light we could find and then back to our run to Glass Mill. We took a slight detour on the way back, heading into Ladywell Fields to start a running train and work on our sprinting. The train might've crashed once but once we got into a rhythm, it was fantastic to see everyone sprinting to the front.
Great work tackling those weeds everyone!! We're heading back on 16th April to work on clearing the weeds in the driveway.
