On a damp and blustery day, Christine, Sue, Maggie and Sheila joined taskowner Karen Davies at Spital Cemetery in Windsor. While Karen put up some poppies for Remembrance Sunday, the rest of us tackled a wild rose overgrowing a grave belonging to 2 sisters who had both lived to a ripe old age. All of a sudden, who should make a surprise visit, but Amy and Rachel fresh from a Pilates class. Amy presented me with the most beautifully crafted medal adorned with a spade and GG cap to celebrate my 1000th Good Deed. We all continued working until we had finished the job and left the cuttings in a bag for Tivoli to pick up. As the rain began to fall, we retired to the shelter of the chapel doorway and enjoyed some delicious carrot cakes made by our very own super-chef, Rachel. Wonderful! Thanks to everyone for making the session so special - I felt thoroughly spoilt!

They were chalk covered bricks and our detention was to be spent cleaning them.

We grabbed a bucket, scrubbing brush and pair of gloves each and picked our wall.

A squirt of sugar soap, mixed with hot water and we had the chemical formula to start our physical exercise.

An hour later and it was time for our School photos before parting ways. Jen took home some art and craft home work away to weave some magic splicing two photos together into one group photo. I'd mark myself 9/10 for my efforts.

A small but perfectly formed team of three met at the task and made a start on painting the walls of the loft studio magnolia. The walls are high so we didnt finish. We are due back next week though.

After a short walk from the old meeting point. Jen met Sheila, Adam and Sue at the task.

Our task owner Liam met us and took us round to one of 3 areas where there was a good deal of chalk on the external brick wall that needed washing off.

Armed with buckets, water, sugarsoap, scrubbing brushes and gloves we picked our spot and set to work on the sides of KS2 block. We made such good progress we even made a start on Woodpeckers outdoor area.

We will need to make a return visit not just to finish Woodpeckers and complete New Hall but to visit the caretakers cats again.

A nice straight forward task - it was just another brick in the wall that the 4 scrubbers improved.
