Getting a bit drench in the trench

The four of us running eagerly arrived five whole minutes early, so we set off after only a bit of chatting. On our way we discussed Andy's unexpected love for a Quadrant breakfast, and what felt like a difficult very short run to our task.

We made it to the church before the rest of the group, and Stephen and Malcolm showed us to our task of digging a trench around the perimeter of the church, to help with damp levels inside the building.

Sallyann, Richard, Angela and Leanne soon followed, and everyone busily got digging, whilst Rich designated himself wheelbarrow disposal person.

We made huge progress along a couple of walls of the church in about half an hour in the rain, when our host said we'd done plenty for one evening.

Even though we complained about the rain, we still stood around in the rain chatting for a while, and after David confused a local woman with Angela Merkel we thought it was best to leave. Erin regretted her usual choice of hoodie in the rain, but did manage to keep her eyes open for the group photo!

Great work everyone, we'll be back to finish that trench!

See you all soon,

Laurie
