Angelica’s Rainbow shined 'Brite' after GoodGym shovelling sh.... shedloads of manure 😉

Angelicas Rainbow (AR) 🌈 was providing compost for people at the Marlpit community garden in exchange for grass for the rescue animals at AR.

Elizabeth, Rebecca, Katie, Tricia and myself met at the urban farm, just off the Marriots Way. Lora (who runs AR) gave us, and the other volunteers, a safety briefing and then explained the task for the next hour or so. The mission was to wheelbarrow the compost from Angelicas Rainbow 🐑 to the Community Garden 🌷🌱

Well we certainly all did get a Good 'Gym' workout what with shearing the long grass, pushing the wheelbarrows, along with clocking up over 3 miles of walking - what a great workout! There were a few aching arms afterwards but all in a good cause! 💪

The sheep and Poppy the pony practically mobbed us as we gave them the grass - it was so adorable! 🐎🐑

Well done GoodGymers!
