Tuesday 12th November
Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)
A small but perfectly-formed crack team of 5 Bristol GoodGymmers ran or walked to Brunswick Cemetery to meet up with Jo and Di of the friends group for some night-time spiral path finding.
We've been working more in the centre of the cemetery this summer and haven't spent much time on the spiral that has become weedy again so it was good to rediscover the gravel and crisp-ness of the edges.
Richard was, as ever, a gravel-finding master leaving the rest of us in his grass-loosened wake whilst Jason made good the top circle gravel. Vaguely Northern Darren specialised in emptying our smaller bags into the dumpy sack and Caroline worked down-stream on the spiral regaling us with stories of trying to get her chickens to help "mow" moss.
Lots of grass and weed roots plus soil later, the dumpy sack was heavy i deed, needing 4 of us to drag it to the edge of the cemetery and all having had a workout under the super moon!
Back to Queen Square as a bigger walking group, plenty more chat with a 90s soundtrack back at Club Haus before heading for home and Darren having his steak which was, of course, best before tomorrow, the 13th.
See you next week!
