Despite the pouring rain on this dreary Saturday morning, Lindy and Mikhail, were determined to set up the SE5 Forum's market stall on Camberwell Green. Undeterred by the damp weather, they arrived at the green with smiles on their faces and a can-do attitude.Their mission began with the transportation of merchandise from the leisure centre to the stall. As Mikhail was late (sorry Lindy!) Lindy navigated the alleyway alone, and then one of the trolleys decided to throw a curveball, losing a wheel in the process. But Lindy, with her quick thinking and resourceful nature, had an ingenious idea. She proposed using a toolbox to support the trolley in place of the wheel. This creative idea not only stabilized the trolley but also provided additional storage space.With this obstacle overcome, Lindy and Mikhail continued their task with renewed enthusiasm. They erected the gazebo, arranged the tables, and meticulously displayed the merchandise, transforming an ordinary Saturday morning into a productive and enjoyable experience. Their dedication and creativity ensured that the stall was ready to welcome the community and showcase the SE5 Forum's offerings.
