It's officially headytorch season, I feel like that has come back around quick and caught us a little off guard! Don't forget headtorches going forward.

The small but mighty group were on there way over to Seniors and the rest of us were meeting at the task. Once we were all regrouped, we made our way into the garden to be assigned with tasks for the eve.

There was a lot of carrying of watering cans and buckets which the Senior's team find hard to do so it's good we can tick this one off their list.

There was also moving of the potato plants of varying weights, planting of winter flowers, removing bindweed and pruning of the chilli plants! A variety of tasks and we were rewarded for our efforts with some house plant to take home.

Whilst we were working away at Seniors, making her way to the task was slightly delayed as Jane was helping someone who had fallen over and required an ambulance. I'm sure the person was very grateful you were able to stop and stay with them in that situation!

We ended the group run by enjoying some doughbuts to celebrate Steve's birthday, he had to share it with the Big Half so it was only fair we had our own celebration! And welcome back to Maria!

Next week, the listing says we shall be going to The Albany, but we could be going to Heston Nature Reserve instead. Hopefully all will be confirmed before the weekend.
