The Great British Weed Off

With Joel and Andy in sombre black, and David and Andy in shiny new running shoes, we set off to Broomfield for our task along the bunny walks.

We got to Broomfield Methodist Church, finding that they were starting band practice at 7pm and our contact wasn't there. Following a confused phone call, it emerged that we were actually supposed to be at St Mary's Church, thankfully only around 1/2 a mile away. David sped off, not wanting to waste precious task time, and met Becca along the way too. Joe managed to find us too, getting to us in 4 minutes rather than his estimated 10 and therefore maintaining his fastest current Goodgymer status.

Our task owners David and Roger had wheelbarrows and tools ready for us, along with a promise of refreshments at the end. We spent our time weeding around new-ish planted trees at the edge of the church yard, with a view of the sunset over the fields.

After filling at least 6 wheelbarrows with weeds, we were treated to a selection of cordials and biscuits so good that we loitered in the church yard eating and drinking rather than setting off for our run back.

See you all soon,

Laurie
