We had to change the task this evening from a group run to a community mission as the allotments have no lighting and with it getting darker earlier (what's up with that!!!!! So not ready for the darker nights)... we needed the extra day time hours to do the task safely...
So we all made our own way to Cherry Orchard Allotments and got to work on plot 5 bed 4. Thankfully the soil was soft this time (last month is was rock hard!).
It was great to see the progress the task owner Home Start Slough have made on the plots..
We spent an hour chatting, digging, pulling the weeds and just catching up on life.
As the light faded we stopped and got ready to leave.
Next week we have a new task owner (Food Cycle Slough) who would like their new food service promotion so we will be delivering their flyers for them around Salt hill and Baylis area.

This evening we were helping Jillian at The Global Trust Bookstore to sort through the piles of donated books.
Before setting off from Salt Hill Park we welcomed Urmila on her first GoodGym session - a very warm welcome!
With Pam, Keith and Urmila walking the 1 mile distance, they set off whilst Jean and I carried on with the warm up.
Soon we had set off too. Jean was on fire tonight! I told her to set the pace and run at her pace then walk whenever she wanted to... we ran nearly all the way! Great to have running Jean back
Not all books are created sequel
Our tasks were to just sort out the books. But the books were everywhere so we were bound to get a little confused.
I helped to work out the sub tasks with task owner Jillian and we set Jean and Keith the naughty corner to sort out the fact from the fictions!
They did a remarkable job clearing out the corner into some kind of order!
Once upon a time
Kam and Pam had the job of sorting out the kiddies corner. Kam was on all the reference books whilst Pam had the pre schoolers!
Urmila and I came down to help after an aborted clothes sorting task!
We soon had crates of books in the correct piles
Great job all round everyone!

Tonight we were back helping Home Start East Berkshire with their Slough Allotment Project.
We had the task of digging up the grass on plot 5 and with 9 of us in tow we managed to get two beds over turned.
It was great to have Priya return for her second task.
We were so pleased to have Mansoor join us via Stoke Park Active - thank you Clare for bringing Mansoor along.
The task was pretty straightforward but with very dry soil it took allot of effort in turning it over.
Jason had a cracking technique at skimming the top then digging the grass roots out accompanied by Keith who also gave the task some backbone!
Kam and Jean who I classify as my gardening gnome it alls knew exactly what to dig and what to leave!
Thank you all for your efforts tonight.
Next week is bank holiday Monday but the session is still on - we will be combining a fitness session with a litter pick task at Upton Court Park.
