Welcome Natsuko to your first GoodGym session! And a welcome return to Nathan.

All 5 GoodGymmers found their way to Mary Seacole nursing home and - with the weather on our side for a change - we made amazing progress on the new zen garden for staff tranquility.

Everyone planted their own trees, and we're excited to watch them grow as we come back for more tasks here!

After a lot of reading and reviewing of instructions, Nathan, Natsuko, Sooz, Miranda, Jess and Grace soon set to work constructing the columns and outer structure of the gazebo. There was hammering and drilling action, and a fair amount of head scratching! A lot of progress was made, but we were finally defeated by the enormity of the gazebo. With a third of the construction complete, we hit pause, ready for another day.

So stay tuned for the next phase of this task... as gaze-no becomes gaze-yes!
