A dead Alice in Wonderland, a viking and a spider accompanied us on our Community Mission this afternoon... just a normal Sunday afternoon then. Following on from the Nightingale Nightmare this morning, there was a lot of fake blood to be seen, but the locals of Bedminster were not deterred by us as we rocked up to South Street Park to help Way Out West.

Stef explained to us that the five Community Noticeboards around the park needed to be sanded and varnished ahead of the winter so the wood would survive the bad weather. Luckily, we got a sunny day to do this! We paired off to take on a noticeboard each, and happily spent half an hour sanding and varnishing. With all hands on deck, we got this Community Mission done in record time, and soon we left five gleaming noticeboards drying in the sun and ready for winter.

We had a wonderful afternoon in the sun and are looking forward to helping Way Out West again! Now does anyone know how to get fake blood off...?!
