Our original task was always going to be a bit touch and go. Not only did we need a dry Monday but also a dry Sunday, Saturday and even Friday beforehand in order to sweep up all the pine needles...(almost like a dry January!, which we know is a struggle in it's own right). So Needless to say we did have a back up plan of helping the lovely Eva at Artful Hub with a pack up task.

Artful Hub are due to move out of their Queensmere unit as the precinct is due to be partially closed off. So our task tonight was to simply help them pack up their belongings into boxes ready to be transported out.

With meet up point changed to Sainsbury's at 18.30 we were set to go. Great to have Kam join us for her first ever session. And Peter along for his second. After a quick warm up we were ready to roll!

On arrival Eva met us and gave us the task breakdown. It was at first sight a monster task! We all wondered how we were going to lift, shift, pack and stack all these items in 45 minutes!

But actually we did a crate job!!!

With a bit of thinking outside the box we had an action packed evening and managed to move a billion items (slight exaggeration!) from upstairs to downstairs and took down all the window dressing.

And that's wrap

Next week we will be back at Wexham Park Hospital helping to litter pick their car park. Our meet up point is Shaggy Calf Lane, outside King Wexham pub.
