That's enough of the business

No I haven't written a cryptogram specially for this report....

Last night it was a brand new and spooky trip to see the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery. who work hard to promote the conservation and appreciation of the cemetery as a place of remembrance, of historic importance and of natural beauty. They're getting ready for visitors this weekend as part of Open House London - check out the Open House website there's some amazing opportunities! We ran the 1.5km there, stopping (of course) to do a spot of wall-sitting, this time Helena was in control of how long for. She's a hard task master!

Our jobs were:

• Weeding the old chapel floor (lots of scraping involved!)

• Cleaning chairs

• Taking the chairs down into the Crpyt for storage

As the light dwindled on us, headtorches were out and we did an amazing job clearing the floor. Jeff was absolutely thrilled. We even got a little tour of the Crypt which is still full of coffins! Nunhead Cemetery was the most expensive and desireable place to be buried in London when it was consecrated in the 1840s. I'm looking forward to a daylight look-around! We headed back at 20.00 and as it's a 1.5km run each way we had some time to spare which meant time for mini circuits hooray! These involved pressups, star jumps, burpies and squat jumps. We did one round of each exercises followed by a lovely yogic cool down.

Great work team!

We headed back to Batch - sadly Old Spike had a break in last week so they've changed the locks and I haven't got a key yet - where Phil had water ready for us.

Plonk!

It's the third Wednesday of the month so it's social time! We headed to Peckham Levels to eat some food and play some crazy golf. We split into two teams, there were some cracking holes in one and some rather more prolonged battles with difficult courses. Team 2 had the overall lowest score with the top golfer of the whole group being Tristan.

It was great, we must definitely Plonk again soon!

See you next week, Lucy
