After the parkrun in Preston Park, three wonder-"ING" women speeded up their way to St Paul Prestonwille Church for a weekend mission. To avoid the main roads, Nancy and I, Stefania, explored a shortcut through Lover’s walk to find ourselves hiking-a-bike up some steps – Wonder-FULL discovery and FUN!

There, we joined Rev. Martin, Sally and other lovely church wanders and volunteers to get busy in screening and sorting a fair amount of stuff that has been accumulated in years, since pre-pandemic. Much we saved for the toddlers entertaining sessions and other church events, more we diverted for reuse and recycling and …. more is yet to go or to do, ready for another future visit!

Nice to see you back Abi to enjoy the spring tasks in the church outdoor garden that is now ready to grow vegetables and become a complementary food supply for the Real Junk Food Project, cooking and serving the local community twice a week at this premise.

Firstly huge congratulations to Michael for not only completing a marathon on Sunday but turning up to do Goodgym on Tuesday! I know the marathon didn’t go quite to plan but it is a phenomenal achievement to have completed and we loved hearing all about it last night. Feel proud!

Also last night a big Goodgym welcome goes to Matthew joining us for his first experience.

Our task tonight was a visit to the ever fantastic community garden that is Ingram Crescent. Every time we visit this place just gets better and better and they have now added a large seating area including a carved wooden fox. Michael & Juliet worked with resident Vic to scrub all the bird droppings of the benches ready to be used for the upcoming Easter weekend.

With a wet afternoon ruining the possibility of painting the shed as planned gardener Kim came up with a couple of alternative tasks. Firstly we created a 'fence' out of old bits of wood to house bags of rotting leaf mould and then we raked over some beds to remove sticky weed.

A quick pic with the fantastic Mx Fox before we headed back and then off to the Wick for our monthly social.
