We revisited Pyramid of Arts this week, which is a 9 km round trip from the book club. Mostly downhill on the way there, mostly up on the way back.
A new studio has been acquired in Barkston House, so we were given a quick briefing, bucket load of white paint, brushes -we were ready to get rolling!
In no time at all we managed to paint most of the walls white - only missing the areas we couldn't reach - and most importantly had almost managed to keep ourselves clean! Katie sensibly removed her shoes to make sure they weren't given a new coating, which worked rather well.
Once finished, we summoned up some energy to tackle the route back. We took a lovely route along the canal, which was glorius in the evening sunshine. Well done everyone, and see you all again soon !

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money
