After a week or so of dry weather, the skies decided to open again, just when we were on our way to Berrymede School in Acton. Romina from Cultivate London double-checked whether we are sure about carrying on with the task. Absolutely yes! We had a pile of fallen leaves to collect and an achievement to celebrate! Steph Ducat, who joined last year in May, has reached unbeleafable 200 good deeds! Super Steph was wearing the red cape tonight and got a seat on a special throne in the school's garden.
We were lucky to miss the heavy rain. Having collected 51 bags of leaves to be used as compost, we knew it was the photo time. Rather than posing with bags, we asked Romina for a more exciting backdrop. She led us to the kid's garden and showed us a collection of wooden seats, including a throne - that one was destined for Steph!
A task in Acton couldn't be finished without the traditional hot beverage in one of the chaii places in Acton. We all took a short break for tea, then ran or walked back to Ealing. Super Steph flew to his home further West to wait for the next call to action.
Join us at the next group run to Blondin Park to put up signage around the park and drink some hot chocolate in the pavillion. Sign up now!
