Its blowing a strong Zephyr out there! (You may need to look that up - If you don't- Please write up the next report!)

Stan from Friends of Hamworthy Park was ready for us at 6pm with his little green van and many paint pots and brushes!

Goodgym runners were straight onto it, a brush each, a paint pot between two and a quick calculation of what the colour order was on the fences!

We had two groups tonight as plenty of space to social distance, with a few people being in bubbles with someone so they are allowed a bit closer!

It was a delight to welcome to the group Gemma! Gemma already knows a few of the team and she was straight onto a fence panel before we could introduce her to everyone else! Great to have you Gemma and please join us again - Just next time no need to aim the paint at me! 😏

It was wonderful to welcome back the fabulous faces of Richard and Maria! Only last week we mentioned we missed our Knowles family! Maria is looking great and really enjoying her running currently, without feeling need to chase PBs!

Many of the runners had raced this weekend so after the task, headed home with a run or walk - All good as we need to make sure we also listen to our bodies!

Becky joined us again, becoming one of the team alongside Shelley and always fabulous leggings!

We painted so many panels tonight! Patricia was a wizz with the yellow, Jane took again on the red, regretting it but then admiring her handiwork at the end!

Ali swopped paint colours just to chat nearer to Richard as it had been too long! Elizabeth was making sure none of that purple paint got in her hair with a neat use of a buff!

Gemma, Esther, Robert, Sian, Richard and Maria all headed off to Lake Pier. A wonderful spot with lovely views across the bay and a trail pathway. We had hoped to run back along the sand, but the tide was so far in, it wasn't possible. We enjoyed the views and reminded ourselves just how blooming lucky we are to live here next to all this!

What a fabulous evening, non stop chatter, so many fences painted and a real sense of achievement, with views to finish!
