Last night we had a busy and brilliant evening celebrating Luke 's 50th good deed, welcoming Manish to his first, and doing a poignant good deed - helping Discover Welling take down the Remembrance poppies along the high street.

When we did this task last year it was a struggle cutting through the cable ties in the finger-numbing cold.

This time, thanks to the eco-friendly reusable ties we’d used to put them up, and a much milder evening, the job was far easier!

Afterwards we found a big table at the pub for a lovely social with eats, drinks, lots of chat and laughter.

As well as forgetting to take any photos during the task, it turns out that we missed a few poppies too. But Julie was in the area this morning and collected them in her highly appropriate Royal British Legion bag.

The poppies and cable ties will be safely stored away so that Welling can pay its respects again next November ❤️
