I know, not much of a pun, but inspiration didn't quite want to flow tonight! What did flow however was conversation, from catching up after the holidays to working with Guide dogs taking precedence over GG (want to hear more next time Beth!) to getting to know Dharmesh on his first Goodgym adventure (give him a cheer!). Trainer James was still stuck in the office, but luckily we had no problem finding 'our' allotment for the next episode in the never ending battle against the forest of weeds usually found on arrival. So one can image our surprise to find the place looking better than it has at any time this year sofar! Almost made us wonder if there was actually enough for us to do, something i didn't think i'd ever say about this place to be honest, but am glad i finally can. In stead of battling the forest, we went after the little bits all over the place, with Dharmesh displaying great skills with a hoe. Soon enough it was time to make a move, not in the least since the light already started to fade (yes, winter is coming!). A bit of a random exploration of the neighborhood brought us back to base in time for some stretches and goodbyes right on schedule, almost like i timed it that way (pure luck!)
Not sure yet what James has in store for us next week, but there have been hints of a possible FRP visit later this month, with an adventure with Marian on the cards for early October
As always, it has been a pleasure roaming around Wanstead with you lot. Happy running & till next time!
