100 tasks young

On a very special evening in Worthing a small but mighty group of us met at one of our favourite tasks at Kamelia Kids. Andy, the caretaker had asked us for some help in advance of an open day for the centre this Saturday to have a spruce up of

Tonight was special as we celebrated Anne100th good deed with us and what better way then to pick up a paint brush to put your mark on this milestone task!

Lucy, Anne and I huddled under, over and surrounding the covered seat sharing a paint pot in an attempt to bring the white back to best. Andy will follow up our work with going over the blue in advance of Saturdays big event.

Ros touched up the underside of the powerboat whilst John and Sue broke up and sorted debris in the garden

Duncan was definitely the most active shifting endless wheelbarrow loads full of shingle from the compound around the corner to the beach garden so that it provided a new top layer to smarten the whole look up. Nice work!

After we finished and with a promise to return in June we headed off to the Egremont pub to raise a glass to Anne where we were also joined by Ricky and Gill.

John had very kindly made Anne one of his stunning GG signature, needlefelt avitar/ personification figures. Many thanks John - always very much appreciated ( I probably will get into trouble for calling your work of art the wrong name!! )

With some red roses and a glass in hand this was a lovely way for Anne to be appreciated for the wonderful person that she is :)

Before signing off I just wanted to congratulate Lucy on her 3 Forts marathon success last weekend. The Ultra training is definitely on schedule plus... are you ahead of Duncan in the marathon stakes ?!!

See you all next week and apologies for the delay in getting this report out.
