Good eve in Stratford, with fresh faces, soft golden sunset light and a hugely appreciative local community.
It all began at The Print House, where we discussed "things you've quit for the better?" Remote working, eating crumpets, smoking and drinking wine. We then wiggled our way to the task down a google map endorsed route, leading us through narrow alleys out of various housing estates.
Big community effort at St Mary's allotments, where we provided some horse-power and grunt, but it was definitely a team effort. As we emptied one shipping container to another, each side was supervised and organised by someone from the allotment. Youngsters were chipping in and locals came out to deliver freshly made samosas to the running do-gooders. The kid helping out asked his mum " do they have jobs?". Clearly gobsmacked by the graft on top of a 9 -5.
Special shout outs to Adam and Eugene. Quality to jog and chat together, hope you're taster session was good, look forward to seeing you again. Plus our 600 good deed boss-lady, Sharon, quite an unfathomable number, you bring up all our standards and put so much back into the community, an honour to have done some of those deeds with you.
Next week, we help the church dig out some beds and plant some bulbs, sign up here
Till then,
