Paint no stopping GoodGym Windsor and Maidenhead!

This evening we headed to Kiddies Cabin for some fence painting. Kudos to Sheila, Anita and Rachel, who started the task on a community mission this morning and were keen to come back for more. Also a big warm welcome to Julia for her first session with us and welcome back to Fiona!

Our run/walk was 2-3km, depending on whether you fancied a lap of sunny Oaken Grove Park or not, and there were a couple of nice inclines to help us work up a sweat. Thanks to Sheila for walk leading and to Georgeta for back marking the runners.

Our task owner Leigh had been super organised and left out everything we needed, so we were able to get stuck in on arrival. In about 50 minutes we covered 10 fence panels with the sludgey brown paint, as well as Rhi's legs, the odd shoe, a bird house and a smattering of freckles on my forehead. We also learned that Julia and Rachel are much better at counting than I am.

Just when we thought the fun was nearly over, Anita revealed her reason for meeting us at the task rather than joining the walk or run. In an extended celebration of her 50 good deeds with GoodGym, Anita had brought with her a wonderful feast including an utterly scrumptious home-made chicken biriyani, prosecco and chocolate. The biriyani in particular was heavenly. Thank you so much for spoiling us Anita and congratulations again on your 50 good deeds.

We will no doubt be returning for more painting at Kiddies Cabin in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on the listings and hope to see you soon.
