Ain’t no threat of rain putting off tonight’s do-gooders! (Though the lure of baked goods might have tempted some out…)
We had a lovely bunch tonight, including many a friendly face and a few new ones! Shout out to Chris, Jen, Hannah and Alice for joining their first Lambeth group run! You are so welcome 👍👍
Tonight’s task was at the awesome (and slightly terrifying in such dark conditions - see ghostly pic) Brixton Windmill where we met Jean who gave us a few tasks to be cracking on with:
🌱 Raking up the mown grass for the compost heap
🔪 (closest relevant emoji?) Edging the path to make it look nice
✂️ Trimming back the hedges on the outside fence and putting the branches in a sack
Fake it till you rake it
Although the clumps of grass were a struggle to find and our lights didn’t quite light up the path as desired (according to Chris), in 30 minutes we were done. And we had 2 bags of grass and branches to show for it as well as a neatly edged pathway.
Great work gang! 💥
Cookies and crème de la crème
We then had a brisk run down the hill back to Papa’s. After a quick stretch, Jen brought out the goodies;
Chocolate chip cookies with a dash of salt. A phenomenal start to our Bake-Off Sweet-stakes!!
See you next week for sanding and painting benches at Hillside Gardens and (fingers-crossed) round 2 of bakes! 🍰
