Report written by StephDucat
Six goodgymers joined at Bixley Field Allotments for an afternoon of surprises. Kash, Beata, Anuj and Steph had lunch together and walked to the allotment with one thought in mind as had a heavy lunch after a morning community mission : lets have a nap!! Penny cycled and Christos ran to the site. Always a lot and new things to be done at Bixley. The group split and started digging around the pond, digging by the compost pile to make a path, cleared rubbish near the shed. Then it was a game of hide and seek as the weather decided to send confetti from the sky except it was wet and ruins our hair :-)at least for those who have some. Heavy showers : the team had to hide in the shed and in the usual polytunnel for a short while. Once over they wen back to their occupations. The sunglasses came back out. Steph Ducat and Kash started dancing behind the shed : dancing as were being stung by the growing weed, vine and thorns from the fence they were clearing. Christos was giving the tree on the path a nice hair cut in order for Mani and Steph to walk beneath it without needing to bend down. Meantime Penny, Beata and Anuj finished the digging and clearing around the pond. At the end of the session, the confetti from the sky had stayed away and our hair was not wet and did not get frizzier.
