So it was that on another golden late summer's evening, we gathered at Charlton House for our forray into Kidbrooke.
Special welcome to Kim on her first week with us and welcome back to Lucy! We hope to see lots more of you both over the coming months!
This week everyone shared something they're grateful for. From putting on a pair of running shoes which opened up a world of fitness and new friends; good health and late summer evenings we shared some heartwarming thoughts before heading over for a short warm up where he group literally showing off their heading skills.
We all then made our way to the Maritime Collections Centre, Ulysse packing in some studying when he cycled there and arrived long before us. Never a moment wasted!
There was quite a change in the garden from when we were last there. The planters we'd sanded have been beautifully painted which really brightens up the whole garden.
We got to work with several jobs including turning the compost, weeding and clearing out the bug hotel...which didn't seem to have any bugs, thankfully. 30mins later all the jobs were done - we're an efficient bunch aren't we?!
The sky darkened during our task, reminding us from next week that we will need to break out the head torches (if only we were as as forward thinking as Julian!)
We're at the Slade next week - hope to see you there!
