3 Goodgymers returned to the Lillington area of Leamington to deliver some more leaflets for Myton hospices and Pass the Smile for Ben promoting their Christmas tree collection service.

After last week's frosty run, we didn't think it was possible to be colder, but we were wrong! In subzero temperatures we had a new challenge with delivering the leaflets, some people's letter boxes were frozen shut!

Thankfully we had lots of wonderful decorations to distract us from the cold including snowflake and star light shows as well as singing snowmen. We also had the added challenge of trying to beat the parcel delivery driver who seemed to be taking the same route as us around the houses (we won of course!)

Having covered nearly all the roads on our list, it was time to defrost in the pub! Thank you to James for helping us avoid getting completely lost with his expert navigation skills.
