This week we moved our usual Monday night session to today in order to commemorate Remembrance Day.
The task was relatively straightforward -a litter pick around the memorial park. However, the run part was more like up and down and round and round.
We met at the pond which was not smelling of roses and pretty pitch black around the area... lucky for us Ricky came dressed as a lightbulb!
With a warm (that I soon regretted after pairing up with Claire that involved mirroring your partner, we headed off deep into the park to do some lamppost to lamppost intervals followed by a meet and retreat!
Eva and Jessica then saved the day by joining us for the litter pick and laying the wreath.
We had a lovely walk n talk into the gardens as we collected any rubbish we could find all the way to the memorial plaque.
Here, we laid the beautiful wreath made by Antz Kids and held a 2 minute silence to pay our respects.
This was a really lovely, moving yet simple session enjoyed by everyone.
As Eva and Jess walked back home, leaving the rest of us to do some Sally squats and then spend the rest of the evening working out how to use tik tok! Sadly we didnt 'save' the video!
Thank you for a memorable evening!
