After last week's failure to find shallots for Mr R, I was determined not to return empty handed this week. Tesco's shelves weren't stocking them, but his local greengrocer had both the round and elongated versions, so I was faced with a choice on which to get - I went with round, but next time I'll know it's the longer variety (easier to chop...) which gets his vote.

A GoodGym bonanza today with Hilary, Nick and Md all joining from Newham.

It was a quick setup by Sooz, Nick and regular Mas.

Sooz led the usual announcements including a quick passing mention of her birthday and announced muffins and flapjacks for the finishers!

Sarah heading to her space at the tree, and with almost more volunteers than runners, we were off.

16 youngsters made it across the line and although there was a slight hiccup with the first place finisher having taken somewhat of a shortcut all was soon fixed and complete for another week!
