A trip out to Mortlake this Monday evening to help with some cutting and laminating for recipe cards at AFC Powerstation. Spring has just sprung and with that comes with warm welcome of more comfortable temperatures, longer daylight hours and shorts for running!

This evening we welcomed Tatielly for the first time at what turned out to be a perfect first time task: lots of chance to chat and do DBS checks for social visits alongside doing good for the amazing work they do at Achieving for Children.

In addition, it may not be one of the t-shirt milestones but its certainly a big one as Jp hit 750 tasks! What a massive contribution to Richmond-upon-Thames ❤️

A welcome return to Sea Scouts this evening, though not via the river path that has been underwater a lot the last few days!

Task Owner Russell met us there to explain what needed to be done in the dark: cut back all of the hedge coming through the current old wooden fence in preparation for the old one to be removed and a secure new metal fence to be placed.

Choppers, loppers and a trimmer were the tools of the day, along with some floodlights, and with Russell joining in too, we managed to cover a long section in 45 minutes, as well as some driftwood sorting into the bonfire piles.

The evening finished with a steady run back to Richmond, but not before a sudden interruption for a passer-by who had heard a strange creature in distress - we came running and found some mating toads who were not keen on any help! 🐸
