An action-packed task today to celebrate Salwa reaching her momentous 200th task!

The group ran, walked and cycled approx 2km to the Three Pigeons plot to tend to our sponsored space there. Anita took us through all of the tasks needed: path cutting, manual lawnmowing, extensive weeding, dead-heading, sweeping and subsequent tidying up! The light faded fast but the team worked quickly to fill up a hefty bag to take to the compost heap.

The task ended with a more direct route back to the Tap Tavern to avoid the river path in the dark which was a bit slippery after the tide had come in high. The Tap was a welcoming sight at the end to celebrate Salwa's milestone with a beautiful cake made with love by Lucy Read, and brownies baked by Salwa herself for Luis to celebrate his birthday.

We will be at the Three Pigeons plot again next month, a perfect starter task for any new members. We are also meeting at Richmond Furniture Scheme this Saturday for our Community Mission - everyone is welcome!
