I don't know about everyone else, but I can still smell cleaning products even after leaving the task and washing my hands!

Tonight we were helping Community Kettle CIC to clean up their new venue and get it a little bit closer to being ready to open. They will be opening the first intergenerational community hub in the country, with the initial focus being new parents and newly retired people. There are lots of other exciting plans for the future too, we will definitely be coming back again!

The venue was previously a doggy day care so we were scrubbing floors and walls to get rid of the dog smells, hair and dust.

From polite mops to school calendars, we chatted about (& misheard!) many different topics. Tony and Dave even got to flex their lifting muscles to move some furniture.

It was another positive end to a Wednesday, bringing a bit of joy to midweek!

Thanks to Thomas and Isaac for the prize find of a boot (& some earrings), enabling me to think of a decent report pun!

As always, we were warmly welcomed by Jane at BPA who gave me the dates for 2023 as well... I love the organisation!

We are definitely finding less litter every time we go along which is a great sign. We did fill a few bags with the usual suspects of sweet (or candy for our US friends) wrappers and crisp packets, a few plastic bottles and cans. Today we found 3 dog balls and Aoife located the party corner where she picked up lots of glass.

After an hour or so it was time to head off in our different directions and enjoy a bit more of the morning sunshine.

Happy Saturday everyone!
