We started the evening at Charlton House, discussing what we would do if we had more time in our lives. The thoughts ranged from more walking, sleeping, reading to traveling, painting and phone free time. Maybe we can try to carve out more time this year to do the things that bring us joy. 🌳📖 ☀️

But, back to the task in hand - one thing that brings us joy is a good old painting session and that's what we got stuck into at the lovely Charlton Manor Primary School after a quick run around the block. Mr Turner-Wing had everything prepared for us and we got to work on three sections of the school restaurant to give it a fresh coat of paint to try and make it look as dashing as the back wall which the team painted last time. It's amazing how a lick of paint brightens up a room! After 45 minutes the tubs of paint were all used up and we'd enjoyed a good chat and therapeutic rolling. Hopefully it looks better than it did before – the morning will tell! We’ll be back for more painting in a month and will have soon got the whole room done.

This weekend we’re back at St Richard’s and next Wednesday we’re at Dee’s nursery.

Until next time!

I've never heard so many tree puns in one night. Which is kind of ironic because we didn't find many trees...

But it was still a good night for a run/stroll and we did find a few trees!!

We split into a few groups:

Charlie, Paul and I had a bit of luck finding two trees (one massive, one little) and one branch on the way to the tree drop-off point.

Catherine, Cat and JC (visiting from GG Greenwich 🥳) did a long route but alas only found a nice statue and a plastic tree :(

James, Clare and James took the hilly route to Sydenham Wells Park. No trees but 6k in the bag 💪

Better luck next year?!

Well done anyway for your combined energy and jogging. See you next week!
