We started by meeting in Wholefoods as usual on a Monday, but with the changing time and nice weather Mark decided to warm up us up on Richmond green. Basking in the spring sunshine, we were joined by some curious locals but they couldn't keep up with our plank stamina. We raced to catch each other, did a wheelbarrow race, slapped each other planking and the curious locals just couldn't keep up. So we ditched them and started our run.

Off we trotted up the hill like a caterpillar with 21 segments. For a change from the norm, tonight's task saw us heading out towards Putney before turning off at Mortlake station to find the location: we were back at the Brownie Hut where we were greeted by the lovely Lynn.

Dib dib dob dob we set to the task in hand. Many of us earned our dusting badge tonight clearing out the store cupboard and hall, we cried...

Dust do it!

While the rest cleared the outside and yanked and pulled up every green thing in sight (weeds definitely, scouts honour!). With little silver balls evading the dust pan we finally had the place sparkling. There was just enough time to snap a photo in the hall (space hopper included) before we headed off into the darkness to begin our run home.

Seeing as we were (April) fooled into believing we might get some wine during the Cheese and Wine night at the Brownie hut , we thought we best make up for it by heading to the pub - so with the thought of celebration drinks awaiting, the run back seemed a little quicker! As the last runner trotted in, we started our cool down and had a well earned stretch. Off we headed to the tap to celebrate Holly's 50th good deed and James' birthday where we had a grand old time.
