Firstly huge huge happy birthday to Lynn who chose to spent her special day with us!

She got stuck right in and was knee deep in brambles before we knew it. I gave the brambles a go but quickly decided pulling up ivy was a less painful task.

Judy was this evening's litter pick and filled an incredible two whole black bin bags with discarded litter, so we know she was digging deep for that rubbish!

We lost Maxine and Vicki around the other side of the church to a keen gardener who gave them instructions and had them doing ... well I don't actually know what he had them doing! I can be sure it involved pruning and bushes though.

Throughout the evening Ssapan pulled up ivy, cut back brambles, chopped up the larger sticks I couldn't manage, and generally got stuck in all over.

Ssapan is off to London this weekend - for 6 months! So of course we wished him well and thanked him for his recent hard work and commitment to tasks, while reminding him to come back to us!

We're required back at St Faiths next Wednesday so keep an eye on the community missions as that will be listed today and spaces go quickly!!
