Some of the team joined the RSPB big garden bird watch to cound the local bird population throughout Merton and further afield. The results were a mixed bag with some owl-fully busy with constant visitors and others had a shy turnout.

It was great to get outside and Bernard joined in with a first mission, achieving a daily walking goal at the same time - well done: "Walking around the park was a pleasant experience, especially since it was my first time there. Unfortunately, I didn't see any birds, but it still provided a good opportunity to meet my daily walking goals."

This community centre in Pollards Hill was a new location for our group session and we'd picked a chilly night for it! The aim was to help clear a large flower bed of soil but a slight change of plan meant we were tasked with collecting up the large piles of leaves along the front walkway and in the car park and putting them in hessian sacks. This was to help prepare the centre for a community event on Saturday. As it was, we whizzed through both jobs at tree-mendous speed and didn't throw in the trowel until the site was transformed. Congratulations to Rachael for completing her 50th task, Williams for his 25th and it was great to welcome Sonia to her first session.
