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!
