We always love love love being at my CWA and tonight was no exception.

We weren’t sure what the task was going to be but we knew it would be a good one, as it always is at My CWA.

As always, before getting stuck into the task, we headed out for our weekly exercise session. Three of us tonight: the lovely, Karen, Nigel and me. We put the world to rights as we did a circular route around the town centre. I always love an opportunity to catch up and find out how everyone’s week’s been and what they’ve been up to. And we were thrilled that the weather was so kind to us after a particularly wet day. I was preparing for a very wet exercise session, but luckily the weather gods were kind to us!!

Back at the task, the lovely Maria set us to work with a job for the evening, which was clearing a room (which was pretty full) to prepare it for being an office. I’m not going to lie, when I looked at the room, I wasn’t too optimistic that we were going to get it done! We had the job of clearing the room and sorting the contents into two piles-one for the skip and one for keeps. It wasn’t an easy task, as our opinion of what needed to go in the skip, and theirs was possibly very different, lol! Once we’d sorted it, we had to move it down to Narnia! (If you’d like to know more about what Narnia actually is, leave a comment in the box or drop us a message).

We set to work and got the room cleared, surprisingly quickly. Maria was completely thrilled with our efforts and so grateful bless her. We were pretty chuffed too!! oh, and while we were at it, we also clocked up almost 5 miles! Narnia really is a long way away.

We had a really enjoyable evening, helping this wonderful charity. We hope to be back for another task soon (did I mention that we love indoor tasks in the winter months :-))

I love the fact that three people can go and spend an hour and achieve so much and make such a difference to a local organisation. Well done both, you’re amazing.

Have a great week and hope to see you soon.

Lots of love Nicola xxx

Parkrun is always a joy, but this week, it was made even more enjoyable by volunteering with our lovely GoodGym posse.

Today, Emily, Karen, Nigel and Nicola took to their volunteering roles at Crewe Parkrun. Karen took the role of funnel manager, Nigel took the role of timekeeper alongside the lovely Emily who was also a timekeeper. Nicola was Park Walker, a first for her. I think there may have also been a bit of token, sorting and event close down in there, too!

As always, the atmosphere was lovely…. full of encouragement, support and enthusiasm from runners and volunteers alike.

Parkrun is always an absolute pleasure and the best way to start the weekend. TodY was no exception!

Well done everyone! Loved being with you today as always xxx
