Since 'boys & their toys' would be sexist for a mixed group, the above title covers things pretty good as well to describe the eagerness of the crew to get their hands on the equipment provided for tonights task.

Ofcourse there is always the traditional way, but who wants to sweep up leaves with a broom when there are leaf blowers to play with? Ask James & Linda which method they'd prefer now they had a taste of both.

As such, we set to work tidying up the car park at our 'home', Wanstead House, to stay on top of the always accumulating amount of autumn leaves. Light was starting to fade, but we managed to complete this round without the need for the site lights, which Linda had on stand-by just in case.

Job done, we went for a relaxed & part random run through Wanstead!

P.S... do feel free to ask Linda about the pros & cons of leaf blowers as hair dryers.... P.P.S... all tools were used under expert supervision and transported to & from site by leg powered cargo bike
