Yesterday, Trish, Steve, Mark, Michael and Karina went for a couple of hours to Simon's garden to start the clearing process. Trish got stuck in and started weeding and shaping the flower bed, whilst Michael and Mark cleared and sorted all the wood. Steve used a great saw to cut the wood to perfect size for Simon's wood burning stove. Michael had taken a couple of hours out of his A-level study time and enjoyed a bit of physical excercise. He has now earned some gems to pay Lisa and Nazlee for their biology and chemistry help.
It was a lovely sunny morning spent with friends helping another friend; a great way to improve overall happiness and Well-being.

The fun bit is, today I spent another couple of hours with more lovely and kind people who all want to do something back for Simon who has helped most of us out in times of emergency.

Today, Steve, John, Andrew, Patrick, Kate, Monique, Flora, Bridget, Diane, Julie and I gave 2 hours of our time to transform Simon's garden. It was an explosion of activity, chatter and laughter. We are so lucky to have found so many wonderful and caring friends living in close vicinity of each other. Now we have earned the gems, let's spend them and give others the opportunity to shine as well! I hope Simon has time and energy to fit an outside tap for us, and so the circle starts again.
