It's been a while!! But lockdown number 2 is going to bring us closer together again whether you or Boris like it or not!!
The challenge for this week was: 1) Run/Walk/Cycle 10km 2) Find a green acorn 3) Picture of a red leaved tree 4) Find a wooden bridge 5) Let us know something you've taken up during lockdown 6) Picture of your favourite number 7) Picture of a social distancing sign
Great fun to be out and searching frantically for one thing or the other. Some found wooden bridges tricky to find, others the green acorn....Roshana creativily made a green jacket for a brown one....Caprice sneaked in a Rhododendron bud...Neil got in the Remembrance mood too! Hannah also got involved taking her bumb along and doing a little photoshopping too
Great work everyone and really lovley to have the chat buzzing away with entries again.
Along wiht the great vibes from this, Daryl received some great news regarding a bit of a health scare recently so that's amazing and a great relief! We wish we could celebrate with you Daryl, fingers crossed we get to do that soon!!
Another challenge being set on Monday for next week.
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the photos!

On the last ever day of summer / liberty we assembled outside Abbeyfield in Westbourne to do some epic flyering for the charity promoting a safe haven from isolation and loneliness for the elderly - pertinent!!
We split into two groups of four taking on right hand side / left hand side of road duties and loaded up with 1,000 flyers.
Chris, Claire & Adam from goodgym Nantwich set up an elaborate relay system to ensure that Hannah and bump could focus on posting flyers rather than running unnecessarily. Sweet!
Claire was spontaneously approached by a local couple who were super keen to hear about Abbeyfield - you can't buy sales skills like that, Forbes!
Grace, Roshana, Ashok and I talked about people we know "moving to Bournemouth" - it's the place to be!
After an hour of solid letterbox action in fading light, we agreed to meet up next week and do it all again to finish off. Not least to keep doing stuff that makes us feel good. We still have that liberty!

So back to Bishop's Aldhelm's School to finish the job from last week. We spilt into teams from the get go, Lea, Sam, Mark and Andrew got stuck in to digging and removing soil ready for the liner to be placed, Keith and Laura were on rock and root removal, Daryl and Ashok got sweaty shifting soil ready for the wood borders to be placed. Roshana, Sarah, Hannah and Grace were in charge of leveling the soil and laying the weed liner. Paul as always was delighted with our work and what a transformation!! GO TEAM GG Bournemouth! (virtual high fives all round!)
