Some say this was just a run, but it was more than that. It was a race. A race to the heart of Lobo (am wonderful human being, I must say!!) who organised his first run - supervised by the wonderful Lucinda. Our favourite Lewisham GoodGymer Kitty came back home to see her TH friends Rue, John, Kareem, Cecilia. And half way we got surprised by the lovely Anna that join us for the final sprint!!

Another great group run surrounded by lights. Canary Wharf light festival. The lights of The City. The lights of the stars. And the stars that Rohan, Lucinda and Anna are ♥️

Everything set up and checked so that hundreds of runners could do their morning parkrun. No puddles would stop it! Mile end loves their runners. The runners love the volunteers.

Sure, hairnets are not as fashionable as they were in 2025, but... The title says is it all... 2700 meals packed!

Another hands on task with many potatoes (again!), carrots and apples. Sorting. Carrying. Traying. Some of the tasks today.

5 of us heading to Limehouse to finish off last week's painting job at Oceans Youth Connexions. After last week's mammoth attendance, we were smaller in number but still made a very effective team of painters.

Overalls on, we split off into different corners of the main room - some of us up ladders, others not. Up and down, left and right, we went, refilling our trays with bright, white paint. Lobo took care of the shutters - the soothing sounds of the rollers against metal being the soundtrack of the session. Anna and Ilana whizzed around the lower levels, painting any unpainted patches they could find. Myself and Rohan were mainly perched atop ladders rolling white paint onto the walls. We worked away quietly, so absorbed were we in the task at hand. The hour flew by and before we knew it was time to head back out into the chilly night.
