From tiny seedlings grow... bigger seedlings!

The children of Gospel Oak Gardening club admire their seedlings

Another week, another cunning ploy to avoid any manual labour. After a hard night's celebrating The Observer's win at the Press Gazette Awards (we are now Newspaper of the Year - oh c'mon, let us brag a bit) we thought a bit of fresh air was in order. So we decided to drop in on our friends at Gospel Oak Gardening Club for the afternoon and watch them do some hard work. While they got their hands dirty, our most strenuous activity was holding a camera straight, the fruits of which we're planning to make into a film. We're sure you'll be as impressed with these mini gardening experts as we are, Dan Pearson - watch your back! But seeing as we are consummate skivers, don't expect to see it for at least a week. In the meantime we'll be adding a few photos in the next few days by way of a teaser.
