A big warm welcome to Iulia welcome. Our hearts went out to Ross who had his wing walk canceled again for the second time(third time lucky). Plus a reminder to all those volunteering at Upton Hs on Saturday we have to be there for 8am sharp .After the chat we where ready for the off but not quite,we must do our regular Pandiculation session. 11 runners ran 6k to help Abbeyfield in Bournemouth, with Ross meeting us there as he is still recovering from injury (great to see you). Westbourne House Provides independent accommodation for the active elderly plus this includes meals,room cleaning and encouraging social interaction amongst the residents.We returned for the third time and this time we had a new pressure washer to play with. Sophie worked out how the pressure washer went together and set to on the drive, whilst Iulia,Clarice,Michelle,Katie,Abi,Dan,Neil,Ross and Andrew set to on the grounds which we soon had looking smart again well done to you all.After 30mins and a team photo we said our good byes but not before Jill remained us that we are welcome to pop in and see them any morning at 10.30 for a coffee. We were soon on our way back to the Flirt Cafe via Westbourne and Bournemouth Gardens. Well done to every one Awesome, I will see you next week as Andy is still down under! where we head to a New charity in Boscombe for Homeless 16 - 18 year olds Happy Running
