Five of us arrived at St Stephen's to help get the church garden back in order after a burst pipe caused quite a lot of disorder!

Working with lots of heavy clay soil, Steve got underway digging out the roots of an unwanted bush, Sarah deweeded one side of the garden like a pro, Elise did a multitude of jobs, I dead-headed a tree and pulled up some thistles, and Stephen scraped out the grass growing between paving slabs in the most relaxed pose you've ever seen. The guys at St Stephen's were super impressed with our gardening skills and everything GoodGym.

After an hour and 15 minutes, we were treated to some strawberries and juice...and lots and lots of rain. After waiting to see if it would stop, it confirmed it wouldn't, so we all got some sprint practise in on the way home.
