A cold a frosty morning began with parkrun for four of todays team.

Hilary joined Nick to celebrate his 100th Mile End parkrun Kevin and I headed to a very frosty Wanstead Flats.

A spot of breakfast before heading to meet up with Dimitra who had already arrived at The Up Garden.

Quick round of introductions before our list of tasks for the day off Suz.

Suz was in charge of roof panel taping Kevin,Dimi and I tackled the pergola legs while Nick and Hilary brightened up the bench.

After completing the pergola we took it in turns to spray paint the panels.

Dimi headed off after an awesome effort of pergola leg painting...was great to meet you and thanks for all your effort today.

Suz then showed us the piano that had been donated and was made in Newham a mere 10 minutes walk from the garden....Hilary and Nick double checked it was tuned...it is.

We said our goodbyes and headed off.

A celebratory beer and food to finish off a wonderful day.
