On a bit gloomy Sat morning in Canbury Gardens, I was met by a lovely smiley lady called Petra, the creative director of the festival and Tine, the task owner. I started with helping to unload the van and then was assigned to work with Magdalena and Richard, decorating the large tree with paper lanterns. My height was a huge advantage here, placing colourful lanterns on the branches. if it had been December, you could have mistaken it for a Xmas tree:) After that, I have helped another artist set up her station, including putting up a gazebo to shield young artists from the sun.

At the end of the mission, Rob with Arthur and their little doggie popped by to say hi and show me a possible future GoodGym plot. Watch this space.

It was wonderful to play a tiny part in the Fuse Festival.
