Community missions are back on! Yay!

This morning 7 runners showed up at Balin house to help the Tabard Growers on their mission to make the rails around 'Beautiful Balin' garden beautiful. They had already scraped sanded and painted half of the 32m of rails around the garden a lovely green. We came in to help with the rest. We each donned our gloves and armed with Stanley knives set about scraping decades worth of old paint off the rails. We soon found it was quite a therapeutic task that was difficult to stop (there's always another patch you could scrape). Eventually though we all pulled away to go home for lunch. There's more to do, but we can't wait to see what it looks like when the rest of the rails are painted to match!
