World and Peace

Hilary led tonight's task and after briefing it was random weekly question time ("What's your favourite country?") - we are truly global group...Canada, Spain, Netherlands, Australia, England and Wales....sorry to those I missed. We headed along the greenway, lots of cyclists and runners out tonight.

Hilary took the lead with Kevin and I making sure nobody was left behind. Richard and Bernadette, who are part of the Barts NHS volunteers coordination team, met us and let us know the task for the evening.

We split into two teams and headed to the two of the hospital's tranquility gardens which needed weeding, dead plants removing, shrubs cutting back and sweeping up. Time does go so quick when you're busy and in no time we had several bags of dead plants and leaves cleared.

Some final photos and off we went and of course now it's September, the sun had disappeared and we headed back down a darker greenway, head torch season is here. Some top quality streches to finish the session before heading inside for quick oj and lemonade to finish of the evening.

Just awaiting confirmation of next weeks task,see website for details later in the week.
