Blind Dating

This weeks group run took us to see Alex at Bournemouth Foodbank who is always really grateful that we come and help which makes us want to go and visit even more! It was amazing to have Heather back after she was kidnapped by her work.....we were willing to pay the ransom but were never given a drop off location....so we had to wait patiently!

Megan's commute was finally kind to her and as a result we were lucky enough to have her smiley face back with us again! We are super grateful that you guys are back!

Congratulations Grace on reaching your 10th good deed tonight!!!!

Annnnnd I'm really happy 8 of you guys came out tonight despite how horrible the weather had been throughout the day! It turned out to be a really nice evening and we managed to work up a sweat on the way back!

The route out took us up our favourite overcliff climb but then along the top of the cliff so we could chat with wave sounds in the background and no car noises at all. We ran in pairs pretty much all at different speeds catching up and discussing things that happened since last week.

It was Megan's first time at the Foodbank so after quickly getting to grips with how the dates worked out and the sorting we were all grabbing boxes and finding use by dates....some are incredibly hard to find....and then once you have found it...your brain freezes and can no longer figure out if that date it before or after a January 2019 and so on....does it have 6 months left, no...well then that goes somewhere special.....very complicated at times but with Alex guiding us and double checking with others we usually find the right categories!

It felt like we had to leave so soon today and it's one of our favourite tasks....I think for our next visit in the first week of December we may meet up a bit sooner than usual to get more done!

The way back saw Neil and Lee lead the way and make it back in time to grab everyone's bags etc.....I'm sure the hill at the end was steeper today!!!

Well done everyone! I hope you feel better for getting out tonight, getting some fresh air and doing some good in the community! Back again next week!!!
