It was Election Eve and all was well.
Camden was aflutter with the sounds of sharpening pencils, ballot-snipping scissors, and huge printers used just once every half-decade to print the 'POLLING STATION' font.
And amidst these sounds of democracy, a group in red was making its gentle way up through Camden and towards Tufnell Park.
Our wonderful regular group of Jackie, John, and Steve had welcomed the equally wonderful Emilie, and we were sharing stories of work, life, and politics as we cut our way through the evening hubbub.
Arriving at the special communal garden areas at Ingestre Community Centre, we were met by the brilliant Emily, Pete, and Sarah, and (under Pete's expert tutelage) we quickly split into Team Cutting-All-Weeds-Completely-Back, Team Water-Dry-Ground-Until-It-FINALLY-Accepts-The-Water, and Team Litter-Pick-Pick.
It was wonderful seeing how much work we can do in 40 minutes when we do it together, and our tasks simply slipped away to being completed.
Thank you, everyone, for a lovely evening, and I really appreciate your work!!
See you soon!
