Super mild evening jogging around and weeding!
We all met up at Greenleaf Rd with a bit of a pre-run catch up. It was lovely to welcome Matthew back after work and child-duties have been keeping him away for a while! Great to see you back Matthew!:)
We started with a warm-up and then had an easy jog of aproximately 2.3km to St Peters. On arrival we were looking out for Ama and were a little bit worried she wasn't there but it turns out Ama let me know well in advance, if only I checked my emails:)
Our task today was pulling off ivy off gravestones - that ivy was gripped very strongly and it can really damage the gravestones! We picked a little area at the back and had an enjoyable 30-40mins bantering away and clearing the gravestones. In all that jolly I forgot to take the photos of the group so I improvised - what do you reckon?;)
The jog back was also really nice as the weather continued to be really mild and rain-free. We got to the church and had a thorough stretch down, including a 'controversial' behind the back arm stretch - come along next time to find out what it is!:)
Don't forget to sign up to next week's gardening task and a post-weeding social!
