There were definitely not enough tree for an official Tiny Forest, but we planted fifteen teeny tiny trees at Paulsgrove Family Hub.

I think we spent longer protecting the little saplings than we did planting them, but hopefully they will grow super soon!

The biggest challenge of this task? Arming the Hub alarm system and escaping before setting it off again.

We enjoyed the best part of the day transforming an old brown shed into a beautiful striped beach hut down at Milton Family Hub.

We learned that Jen can't give clear instructions and that JB may not be able to count to three*, but we had lots of fun along the way.

Richard was then off to do more painting at home in the afternoon - maybe he should start his own decorating business?

*JB can definitely count to three. This was also down to Jen's poor instruction giving!

It was certainly not the best evening for an outdoor task, but our intrepid team didn't let the rain get in the way of doing good!

In an epically short amount of time we managed to get a coat of our favourite Creocate on to nearly every panel at the Family Hub.

Hopefully a wet surface and ongoing wet weather won't leave things top streaky in the morning! We'll just have to wet and see!

Well, GoodGym achieved what many had thought impossible - we destroyed the Somerstown Cement Pit!

Sinéad found her calling as rotivator-wielder, whilst the rest of us rotated between pick-axing, digging, forking, barrowing and shoveling.

Judy made a commendable foreman, yet also had a knack for getting in the line of fire - the amount of times "MIND JUDY'S HEAD" was bellowed was pretty impressive.

Our run back was full of discussion about what take-away we might get on our way home. I was very hungry by the time we got back!

Val and Judy arrived fresh from a 6km stomp for their Monday Miles, ready and raring to go for a morning of Creocating.

Dave joined them, whilst I played hostess, providing teas, coffees and encouragement in-between checking emails.

The fence is looking so much better, thank you everyone for coming down!

The weather outside wasn't so frightful, and our painting skills were delightful.

Instead of spreading comfort and joy, we were spreading Creocate, and a lovely job we did too.

We had a pleasant evening reflecting on 2024 and thinking forward to 2025, and what looks to be a very exciting January Challenge!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and see you in the new year!
