This wasn't quite the usual task for a cold dark night (we be much more suitable for a warm summer evening) but who likes to do things the easy way?!

It was our first visit to Sprowston Youth Engagement Project (SYEP). They have taken a relatively new piece of land, and are wanting to have a nature pond there. That's where our person-power was required, to help start to dig it out and shape it.

Finn met us there with an array of spades and shovels and floodlights already set up so we could see, and then we cracked on with the task. You definitely didn't want to be wearing your new white trainers for this task.

We completed a good 50 mins, by which time the temperature had dropped and we were rather chilly despite the physical task.
