Hydrating Hackney Herbs
3 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Hackney.

Kyle from Energy Garden met Clair, Even and I to show us the ropes and we felt like train spotting VIPs getting into the station masters air-con hub! BTW the station manager Rohan is an absolute legend, he's been there 20 years and is possibly the most cheerful man EVER. If you are passing through give him a wave! Energy Garden have created 20 planters at Hackney Downs overground and in this heatwave they needed water. Fast. (Injecting some drama into this tale). We did not remain 'station-ary' and our 'train'-ing paid off as we ran up and down stairs to water planters full of herbs, fruit and veg and flowers, across all the platforms in super speedy time. Kyle, Even and I had watering cans and buckets but Clair was in her element with the 16 litre Knapsack Sprayer - the bag of dreams! - and we were on 'track' to finish on time and go and hydrate ourselves (at the pub)

Strong pub game here Amy
I meant pun game. For some reason my phone changed it!
Great puns, Amy. Hilarious!
