We had loads of lovely new runners this evening, giving it a decidedly 'back to school' feel, just without the new pencil cases. If only.

There were two run options, the first group were led by JKB up to the community growing project at Agnes Riley Gardens. he said:

We navigated the dense and cumbersome mesh, mainly there to keep birds out, in order to water KEY VEGETABLES. We trimmed back rose bushes to make them less hazardous, but the thorns proved tricky. Navigating the bush in the dark was not so easy so it's time for a JKB TIP which is BRING HEADTORCHES. Its getting dark!

The rest of us were led to the Portico Gallery in West Norwood by George, who was celebrating his 100th run. After the 4km mainly uphill climb we reached our destination and began sorting gazebo sides into dirty and need cleaning or OK. These are used for the monthly West Norwood Feast, which takes over the town in the summer months.

On running home, we all enjoyed some banana bread from Lavinia as her #GBBO2018 offering and then we went to the pub for some food and a drink. Lovely stuff.
