On a bitter December evening we most definitely earned ourselves something nice and warm to drink.

To describe it as being cold would do the weather a mis-justice. It wasn't so much the temperature more that wind whippppppping around the garden.

Our task this evening was to head back and see the lovely Sarah & Beejal at EcoActive and paint the shed that was constructed last week, paint the beds that will be used for growing and drag some compost from the church over the road to its new home.....

The team set off and made light work of the run to Eco active. Smiles and high fives and off to the estate we went. Surprise SURPRISE the shed was still standing..... I say this as i know a few of you were wondering about the skill and technique used to make such a structure. WELL, any doubters out there please send your cheques to the office ;-)

We readied the bags of waste and compost, rehoused them then set about the main task at hand. Brushes at the ready we began to varnish, 1 shed done, a few growing beds to go. 1 done, 2 done, 3 done 4...... ooooh how time flies when you're having fun.....

We waved goodbye and headed back to a nearby square for drills, sprints and ninja business....

What is this ninja business that i speak of i hear you cry.... Join us next week for more fun and i will tell you alllllllll about it....

Really loving working with you all in Hackney.......

Have a good week and ill see you allllllllllll next week...
