I have to say I was a little nervous before tonight because the description of the task was a slight accidental/purpose mistake to what the actual main task was. It was in fact manure (aka poo) that was to be shovelled and moved but in my defence that is kind of made up from straw and compost.

We welcomed another 2 runners this week in Sinead and David... I'm hoping the task didn't put you off haha.

Katy was going to lead the group tonight with Frin and Mish being back runners so I could float about. It was quite a long run at about 4km each way.

So aside from shovelling s#!t, other jobs at Angelica's Rainbow were to sort the animals out, disinfect the fences and some general tidying up bits.

The sheep and pony were pretty cute to be fair so was nice for everyone to pet them for a bit.

Back to the poo, Ali (sporting bags over his trainers), Stephen, Tammy and David were straight in there (literally) and started forking together, transporting the poo into barrows for a team of others to transport them to the truck where Sinead was helping to unload the forked produce.

With Kev being from Wales, he had to have the obligatory photo with a sheep.

As always, the team were proactive and found other jobs that needed doing (although I think their rate went up to time and a turd) so it was really useful to Angelica's Rainbow.

After about 35 minutes we headed back to The Forum with Grapes Hill thrown in there too.

I know people say I talk about s#!t a lot of the time well I think this run report demonstrates that haha but that's enough for now... oh wait, not quite as Frin mentioned that when she got home a piece off sheep poo fell off her so she tamely placed it on her husband's leg... now that is true love at it's very best.

Next week we are still running on bank holiday as we visit Bluebell Allotments.
