Tonight saw us back at Ferndale Primary School for our first visit of 2021! As most of us rolled into the playground on our shiny bikes whilst a few other opting to arrive on foot, we met Task-owner Jane who had already begun to lay out the tools ready. After a quick catch up and delegation of tasks, we set about to complete the mission - eager to try out Jane's fancy new brooms!

We had;

*Helen and Jane sweeping, tidying and possibly a lot of chatting in the nursery area

*Gina, Stuart and Richard on playground and teepee duty

*Jason and Lily perfecting their topiary skills on the bushes

*Adam and his super broom snapping strength in the bike shed (thankfully not one of the new ones!)

*and last, but certainly not least, Gaby and I weeding and making sticky willy balls around the pond.

If spending time with friends doing good on a summers evening wasn't enough, we each were given a quarantined 'covid free' Gold bar from one of the teachers and lots of home grown yummy rhubard from Lily!
