After a weekend whirl of sunshine, Monday reminded the crew it was still April with icy winds. As Tabitha, Samina & Josh met at Beer and Burger ready to stay warm. An attractive run down past Queens Park to get the blood pumping to meet Lee & Beatriz for some high energy Queens Park Council newsletter deliveries! No time to stay still London wind, the team expanded out over Portnall Road to reach the mail slots and letterboxes of the residents within council region. With a small uphill run back to the starting location, the team earned a well deserved sit down in Beer and Burger afterwards.

With Tabitha, Josh & Catherine looping up outside Beer & Burger for a needed warm-up for those fresh off a half marathon. A slow run was begun for the first task at Clitterhouse farm for 2024. Meeting Lee and Cherian upon arrival. With fresh paintings up upon entrance and tuliups blooming to welcome us, we gloved up with buckets and forks in hand. With a heap of compost to overturn and move to a new location. We were moving mountains not molehills. Working in the farm, mother nature decided we needed feeding and bestowed buckets of rain down on us ensuring we were well watered. With some smooth transitions of team work, effort was shared and compost was delivered. With a meandering movement back to Beer & Burger for a well deserved drink to celebrate the changing of season and type of tasks!

Tabitha and Pete ran to Abbey Community centre and met Lee who was waiting with Jason and 100 flyers .

We wanted to stay and play table tennis but had deliveries to do so made our way to Rowley way to deliver the flyers

Lee had a bad knee so we walked back

Back at TRAID after their sale once again! Emily, Lee, Beatriz and Cherian arrived raring to go and immediately got to business getting clothes off the hangers and onto the floor. From the floor the clothes then got ceremoniously chucked into huge cardboard boxes and cages to be transported back to the warehouse. Next is everyone's favourite task - pairing up all the shoes. Sparkly heels and red trainers are a doddle but tens and tens of similar black women's shoes of slightly differing style is more of a challenge. But between us we got there in the end! Final task was blitzing the hangers chucking them all into boxes, and clearing the clothes rails to the side of the room to allow the team to do a big clean tomorrow while the store is closed. The store staff are always so grateful and it was definitely a big job well done!!

Nash, Samina, Beatriz, Lee and Pete met at B and B, did a warm up, then split into 3 teams to distribute flyers for the Willesden Library of Things! Lee went down Willesden Lane, Nash and Beatriz did the south east quarter and Pete and Samina did the south West. After many post boxes, up and down steps and lots of flyers given we all returned to B and B for a quick drink and chat. Well done everyone, a few kms covered, some exercise and help for the community 👏👏
