Ashley and Rachel were joined by Tracey and treated to an eye opening evening where they learned about some of the household objects Tracey has affectionately given names to over the years.

From Fred the hair brush (rest in piece-s) to names of Tracey's cars like Bumble who she used to bumble along slowly in, there wasn't a quiet moment and so many questions were raised.

After Ashley was chastised for daring to mention Christmas in August, the group hotly debated their thoughts on festive celebrations with some firmly believing it really is the most wonderful time of the year whilst others needed a little more convincing. Everyone was however happily on the same page with reference to the Lionesses recent win and updates from the Commonwealth Games happening in Birmingham.

As the group hadn't visited one of Derby's green spaces in a while, they took the litter picking session to Darley Park and covered just over 3km clearing the park of rubbish. The most interesting item the group found was a car badge which was left by the side of the road in case anyone returned to collect it.

Thanks to Ashley and Tracey for helping out and for the great photos Tracey took.
