Fork goodness sake

There was only one person who was deserving of the Golden Boot (trainer) last night, and that was Alan, who has racked up a phenomenal 200 good deeds! Thankfully the whole of England was celebrating with him as they got through to the Euros final. Was Alan their lucky charm? I think after that many good deeds and kilometres covered, he had to be. Alan FTW!

We were back at the Chiswick allotments last night to support a new partnership between the local foodbank and the growers. The idea is that an overgrown patch of land is being cultivated ready to plant fruit and veg that will eventually be donated to the foodbank.

We're still at the digging and weeding stage of the process, so we all grabbed a fork, and got busy. We started by lining up in a row and working backwards, digging up weeds and turning over the soil. There were plenty of slabs to be lifted, roots to be dispatched and grass to be eliminated. After 45 minutes of hard work the area was looking much clearer - almost ready for planting!

We're back to the site next week to carry on with the project, which will ultimately provide local people with healthy, organic produce.

It's amazing what effect the prospect of a semi final England win will have. Powering back to base, we arrived just a few minutes later. There was just a quick stretch to be done before scooting over to the pub for the big game. Its always a great night to put on a red and white tshirt, but with all the celebrations to be had, yesterday was particularly special.

If you're looking for a fun mission this Saturday, ten why not sign up for this session helping to set up for an inclusive music event - and feel free to stick around for the entertainment!
