John, Jackie and Gosia proudly represented GoodGym Camden at Cressfield Sheltered Housing this evening lucky to be accompanied by - first of the year - proper spring vibes โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒก.

We all met somewhere on our way there with John proudly riding his bike (wearing his super duper hi-vis space ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€ jacket).

Just before entering we were welcomed by a local cat ๐Ÿˆ who was very keen to get some cuddles from the newcomers. It was definitely cute enough to - hereby - get this special mention ๐ŸŒŸ in today's report ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

We buzzed in at exactly 18:30 and were welcomed by Cathi who briefed us on the task and also showed us available equipment and gardening accessories (incl. brand new and extremely cool - gloves with claws ๐Ÿงค๐Ÿ˜ผ).

We were tasked to de-weed two garden plots that were covered by quite a tick carpet of weeds, with few plants ๐ŸŒฑ bravely sticking out, likely looking around ๐Ÿ” to find more space for themselves.

We started off with one of the plots, supporting ourselves with gardening tools as well as chairs ๐Ÿช‘ and pillows to keep ourselves comfortable while deweeding ๐Ÿฆฅ. While progressing we had a lovely and cozy chat about plants, parkruns, GoodGym and serious life matters ๐Ÿ˜„. We continued like that as we moved around to sort out the second plot.

We finished off the work at 19:30, which gave us just enough time to finish both plots. Luckily we took before and after which made us feel even just a tiny bit prouder from today's work โ˜บ๏ธ!
