Bedtime weeding
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Kingston Welcare in Kingston upon Thames.

On a dark dark night, in a dark dark garden, 5 GoodGymers lent a hand with some tidying up. But GoodGymers aren't scared of the dark, at least not when Rachel has a bagful of headtorches and an floodlight handy! Veg beds and paving were weeded and old tomato plants cleared away. Sacks and sacks of leaves were raked and gathered and shrubs were pruned. A final sweep of the floors left the area looking dreamy. Even though it wasn't yet midnight, the carriage had already turned into a pumpkin (or rather a variety of squashes), so we tucked the tools away in the shed and said goodnight. We plotted a return next spring to plant some lavenders, inspired by Tom's green thumb. Then Petra and Marie-Noelle went for a night cap at the pub, and Rachel bought some bread... presumably to leave a trail of crumbs on her run home!
