Following this morning's task at Eastwood Farm, 6 of us ran the scenic route to Barton Hill Settlement to help FoodCycle with their deep clean. They have their popular weekly meal at the Settlement and with some team changes this was the perfect time to reset and refresh.

We met Roz and Sarah there who were already hard at work with the other volunteers. Roz was cleaning tables, Nathalie and Vale got stuck in with the kitchen team and the rest of us had two main tasks. We sorted through all of the food to check best before dates then set to work moving the storage boards from the garage to Justin's car to travel to their new home at Birmingham FoodCycle. A lot of 'to-me, to-you'ing later, and we had all of the boards in the car (and we weren't even bored).

Unfortunately we had to head back to leave the rest of the team to it, but not before Justin had plied us with boxed of Katy Percy energy balls. Not Katy Perry, as Chris pondered her foray into the health food business, but we listened to her bangers for the jog home (ft. Chris' shopping trip-esque look with his finds) in honour of her nonetheless.
