Do we really know what we're doing?
Someone asked.
Know where we can find a book on painting?
Was how our happy group of 8 started at Belsize Community Library on Wednesday evening.
We'd already braved and toppled a sun drenched Haverstock Hill, and we busily combined our rehydrating efforts with pouring paint into trays.
The office and corridor walls had previously been painted by a local group of children. Who'd done a brilliant job, but just on parts of the wall. We were there to fill the gaps and apply a new coat.
Which we got to speedily and whilst catching up with one another.
It's a joy to be in special community spaces, in spring long evenings, and whilst the usual hubbub has passed. We enjoyed the space and we made a difference across a fast 45 minutes.
Thank you, all, for your work, time, and joy - it was lovely to see you!
