Ahhhh Hail No
15 GoodGymers made their way 2.6km to help the Abbey Gardens in Newham.

It's been a long stretch, but BST finally returned to our lives, reducing dinginess, lifting moods, increasing Vit D production, and enhancing...you know, seeing stuff.
15 of us congregated in The Aquatics Centre, buoyed by winning the photo award, beating 49 other GoodGym areas on the way. I'm going to head down to Somerset House tomorrow and pick up THE AWARD. Promise, I won't nick it. Unless it's really really nice.
Quick little warm up and Parkrun chat, then a jog to Abbey Gardens, discussing "your favourite live performance?" amongst other things. I heard a couple of people say Muse, did you know Aaron 'fan boyed' the main man in central london once? There's actually a bit of resemblance there too. Florence and the machine was on the list too. I semi fell in love with Paloma Faith about a decade ago in The Jazz Cafe, I was a barman... and as soon as she started singing that was that. The power of music...careful out there.
Back to yesterday's proceedings, we made it to Abbey Gardens in very good time, Manorfield had cancelled, and an outdoor task sub was unfortunate on this occasion. It started hailing/raining but did ease off after 10mins of weeding. We cut it a bit shorter than normal, and warmed up with a wee trot back to base. I must be getting soft as didn't gather everyone up for a fitness sesh, we'll make some room for that next week, redemption is but a week away...
