After Jen finished topping up her run to a round number, we were put to work setting up the resident survey area at Somersfest. Attendees will be offered a free icecream, soft drink or tote bag for filling in surveys about the Somerstown Community Garden and the local Housing Offices, so they were expecting it to be busy!

We definitely got our GoodGym workout moving chairs from the Gibson Centre to the Community Garden - made much easier when we found two trolleys to push them through the streets of Somerstown! Jane was definitely our champion trolley dolly, with zero falls off kerbs or crashing in to anything. Dave didn't need a trolley and huffed the chairs himself - a self-declared "strong, independent woman".

We then helped Matt from the PCC garden team with putting up gazebos - a venture that resulted in Jen gaining a new pet slug. A mini rescue mission occurred to re-home the little fella out of the line of sight of local birds.

Before heading off, we helped some of the local charities to transport their stalls from where they could park to their pitch, and helped with yet more gazebos! One particularly challenging gazebo led to a slightly inappropriate photo of Jen and Dave - check out the pictures!

A very productive and sweaty morning, and Jen's work friends were extremely grateful for our help!
