A 'Tree't of a Task

It was an absolute pleasure to be back at My CWA this evening. It’s been a while since we were there and we always love the tasks we get given there! Tonight, the task was a surprise as we didn’t know what we would be doing until we were there. We weren’t disappointed…. It ended up being Karen’s favourite task!

We met outside and did a short warmup before heading out for our run. It was a circular route this evening with one or two sneaky hills in there (sorry!). Despite it being almost the end of September, the weather was still warm and quite muggy. Maurice paved the way for us (Maurice, you’re getting fitter by the week!). We did 2 mile route in total (felt like 10, haha) before returning back for our task.

Back at the task, the lovely Kat & Rebecca supervised us with our tasks for the evening. Nigel & Maurice headed upstairs to shift some hefty furniture and Karen & Nicola stayed downstairs to get creative with some wall art. I’m glad to say that Rebecca took the lion's share of the responsibility for the creative bits (can’t speak for Karen but creativity definitely isn’t one of my stronger points!).

Nigel & Maurice definitely picked the short straw with shifting the furniture but they did a great job as they were solid & heavy cupboards! Definitely enought to work up a sweat I think! Meanwhile, downstairs, the wall was transformed from a blank white canvas to a gorgeous piece of wall art. I believe it’s going to be a volunteer tree and host pictures of the volunteers that help this wonderful charity. We managed to get all the pieces of the tree on the wall and it was looking lovely by the time we came to leave.

It was a really lovely evening spent, as always, in the company of really lovely people and I’m looking forward to getting back to My CWA soon as they never disappoint with their tasks! Plus, it’s always a bonus to be inside as the darker nights and colder weather descend!

Well done team – fantastic as always!

Have a great week & see you soon, Nicola xxx
