Weather update !

After the rain came the icy blast ! but thankfully it wasn't so bad for our task tonight as it is now, as I write this ( extremely late ) report.

Interesting Observation

Despite travelling heavy with a luminous 'go' jacket which has everything one could possibly need for a few days away, including an umbrella (but not a toothbrush) Sarah had not signed up to the task in advance of meeting up. This is entirely due to weather forecast ! With this in mind, imagine her horror when, having ventured out at the last possible minute to meet us, as well as closely checking on the weather, we headed out of Splashpoint Leisure Centre into some damp drizzle in the air. Her face was a picture ! I wish i had taken a photo of it !

Anchors away

Ricky led the way for the run to our task for this evening at Anchor Gardens just west of our meeting point.

On arrival we hunkered down into the task. thank goodness for Uncle Ivo's lights that he kindly purchased for us BC! We embarked on a tidy up of these seafront community gardens.

Gillybean, Rosalind, Sue,John, Craig ( AKA Gregg), Ricky and, surpise surpise, it was lovely that Steve who came along too, all threw themselves into weeding, digging and pruning whilst I was the bagger !

Ros, Sarah and Craig opted for fitness drills whilst the rest of the team continued gardening. The highlight was Tamsin's spin the wheel December challenge. Todays spin instructed 20 burpees but, just for fun, and amidst confusion on the exact number, I increased the number to 30! The lucky 3 also enjoyed a plethora of other functional bodyweight exercises and sprints too.

Photos done, tools and lights away and we all disappeared in different direction.

Next week is the last one before the Christmas break. Meeting at Worthing Leisure Centre and wrapped up with as many layers as you can muster onto your body. Afterwards its drinks to say a sad 'A bientot' to Ros. More details on the venue to follow.

Apologies for the greatness of the lateness of this report. ' Tis officially the crazy season.....

Much GG love
