Congratulations to everyone that took part in the Big Half on Sunday, I'm so proud of you and all your achievements. We'll be celebrating those fantastic achievements at the social next week!
As we gathered at Glass Mill in the sunshine, it was lovely to see some new faces from different areas and those returning after a break - hope you had a great evening doing good in Lewisham.
There was time for a quick warm up including an interruption by a noisy Southeastern train and then it was time to hit the hills up to Seniors. There's no easier way to get there, I promise, but hills are good for you!!
We arrived at Seniors to meet the rest of the team and got stuck into the tasks: - weeding the patio to prevent it getting too overgrown - spreading top soil that had been donated - watering all the plants - cutting back the geraniums
Time flies when you're having fun and it was time to pack up, take a group photo and our slightly smaller group headed back up the hill to be rewarded with a beautiful sunset!
We'll back back at Seniors soon to dig some holes to plant roses that the team have grown in and also for the Christmas decorations. I'll get that date in the diary asap as I know it's everyone's favourite. Next week we are off to the Tiny Forest to build their extension - it's a shorter run and a social afterwards.
*I don't want to say it but we might be getting into headtorch season from next week...
