Thursday evening has rolled around again and the 3 of us were back at the scout hut!

Myself, Miles and Leanne met at the waterfront ready to run and made our way up the ol' favourite Back Hamlet hill towards the scout hut.

Today's task involved painting again (which we now have great skills in from painting the hall!), but this time we were outside painting the fences surrounding the hut. An hour later and we had made a good dent in the fence and it was looking fresher than ever 👍🏻, with some of us covered in a few more paint splatters than others! 🫟

We then headed home, accompanied by a beautiful sunset on a lovely clear evening 🌅. We will be back to finish the fencing so why not join us on our next one?

Tonight's task agenda - the Midnight Walk! 🌌

The three of us met at the University and headed along the scenic waterfront on our route to Christchurch Park 🌳.

We picked up the leaflets and made our way around the perimeter of the park, posting leaflets to all the residents who live on the outskirts of the park to inform them about St Elizabeth Hospice's Midnight Walk in May. The walk is starting in the park so it was important for us to target those houses who may hear any noise from the event so they were aware 🗞️.

After a few dogs barking at doors & some smiles at Ring doorbells, we had successfully leafletted our way through the roads around the park ✅.

Great job team & congrats to Leanne on 10 good deeds ❤!

The three of us tonight headed to our usual Thursday scout group task to grab the paint rollers again!

This time we were tackling the kitchen with a fresh lick of paint, reaching high and low to get to the tricky bits... hence the ladder!

Leanne and I ran from the waterfront meeting point, where we met Prakash at the hut who cycled. A chilly evening but we soon warmed up once we got going! 🥶

Another successful Thursday group run / task completed ✅ thanks guys! and special thanks to Leanne for the photos 📸

Who's coming to the next?!!

40mph+ winds accompanied us on our group run tonight but it didn't put us off! Myself (Natasha), Leanne & Miles met at the University and battled through the wind to run to the scout hut, where we met Prakash who got blown by the wind on his bike! 🚲

We targeted the second half of the scout hut tonight with paint, where we had got up to last week. We even had some tunes to keep us going, courtesy of Miles 🎶

Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos, so Chat GPT to the rescue... enjoy!

A successful session was completed and task-owner Adele was pleased. Next up - community mission on Monday! 🎯🍂🪏

This week, it was the fantastic four - we met at the waterfront and headed on up to the 31st / 9th scout group, tackling the almighty Back Hamlet hill along the way. Great chats along the way & well done Miles for your Chelmsford half marathon 👏🏻.

After our sanding efforts last week, we had the paint rollers at the ready, eager to get stuck in! Myself, Leanne & Prakash targeted the lower down (reachable!) walls with the rollers & more intricate sections with the brushes, whilst Miles got the job of using the longer pole & roller to reach the higher walls.

We'll be back next week to finish the second half of the hut.. and maybe go over some parts that some of us (me) may have missed haha!

Thank you guys for another great session! 🎉
