Our second daytime foray to Sparks as traders are moving in, out and shaking it all about.

This time we were refreshing the area that had been hosting Emmaus and had been touched up by “someone who had made a hash of it”, setting the bar quite high for GoodGymmers!

We were given creative responsibility for choosing (or mixing!) from the paints available and didn’t expect the biggest challenge to be getting the lids off - Dave committed a good 30 minutes to his favourite tin and was rewarded with a fabulous matt dark blue for the big wall whilst Nadia found a lovely lively green for her first ever decorating.

Three hours in, we had a good first coat (and rollers that worked plus paint brushes that almost did) and a lot of chat completed 😀
