A typical berry maze session this month, the new fence posts haven't been delivered yet, so back to weeding and edging. We did great bit of work and making the main pathway looking tidy. Big thanks to Emma and Janka for joining me, and resisting the temptation of Manor Woods!

More maze fun next month!

No scything this month, we had a new task at hand! Andy did a wonderful job of traveling and raking the Scar path, whist I help the locals gravel a new path down by Novers lane. it was a dangerous mud slope before next to a busy road, but now there's a much safer way to get across. Emma and Janka were off clearing the path of the the usual litter work.

stellar work all round! see you next month!

Many red t-shirts make light work and 17 is definitely many!

Somehow the walkers beat the runners to the Children's Scrapstore and the ITV news rep beat us all to be waiting for us with the Scrapstore staff.

A bit of stage management and us all pretending we liked talking to each other as we walked to the far end of the warehouse, having stripped off our outer layers to be as on-brand as possible for the camera!

Those who were new to the phone task soon understood the process and methods were developed, adapted, abandoned and just ignored as the production line sped towards filling the two empty crates with newly matched up handsets to desk units, plus all the suspiciously "not phone" hits separated for recycling.

Gone are the days of top executives making important deals on these phones, or calling home that they'd be late AGAIN, instead they're off to children's playgrounds for some make believe games, calling home that they'd be late AGAIN and other storytelling...

Somehow, the kit at the bottom of the crates was even dirtier than the rest but we had time to wash hands before our successful end of task photo by two very full crates of matched phones, some of us having been interviewed and all of us keen to get back to Workout where cake was awaiting us to celebrate Alice's 10th anniversary of joining GoodGym and Tim's 200th good deed. It reminded us just how much we like cake, and friends. And cake.

Well done everyone - we smashed it (well, it sounded like we smashed it)!
