It's been a long time coming, but the day I have been waiting for since mid-December 2019 (come on, it was last year!) has finally arrived. The wonderful, the marvellous, the magnificent, the dry-witted, the clever, the all-around cross-fittingly smashing Ms Pippa Cossey has now reached a fantastic fifty good deeds.

Pippa's first Good Deed took place way back in April 2018 only one week after GoodGym Waltham Forest had started. Since then she has been a regular contributer rain or shine, cold or warm, light or dark. She has picked up tons of litter, built a few planters, painted plenty of walls, improved no end of parks and gardens, and generally raised the aggregate level if happiness in Walthamstow a few notches. Well done, Pippa, you rock.

With that said, let's talk about tonight. Okay, I'll keep it brief. We met, we ran, we painted, we ran, we drilled, we ran, we ate cake, we went home. For me the highlight there was the cake-eating bit. My God, it was delicious. Amazing cupcakes baked by guess who? Yes the versitile, Pippa. They had everything a great cake should have, fluffiness, sweet and delicious, a treasure trove of chocolate bits and bright pink icing. To make sure I did have to eat two, though.

Next week, same time, same place, same task, different cake (it's my birthday). Sign-up here

Two-weeks hence it is our monthly social. We will be eating curry and Ruth is booking a table. Check WhatsApp soon for deets and sign-up here. If you are not on the WhatsApp group email me and I will add you
