Camden experienced summer yesterday evening. The weather forecast told me it'd be hot and dry, and even bright with minimal clouds, too.

I held my breath, I crossed my fingers.

And.

It held out!

Which meant for a bright and warm run through Camden to start our evening yesterday. Alison, Steve, and I worked our way through evening-tide streets, and we shared stories and chatter as we did.

Arriving at the special St Cuthbert's communal garden, we were met by fellow GoodGymer, Sarah, who had taken a canal-side cycle to make their way over.

Over 45 minutes, we collectively dug up a bush, filled multiple bags of compost, sawed through an old chain, and cut planks of old timber for disposal.

With 4 willing pairs of hands, we made a big difference in a short span. Thanks, everyone, it was great to see you all!!!

Here's to next time :)
