500 somethings, in this case celebrating 500 Good Deeds for one of GoodGym Richmond’s runners for the first time. All hail queen Anita!

Appropriately and poignantly marked with a crown, a card, regal brownies, celebratory drinks and a group run to Beuccleuch Gardens, Richmond for a quintet of gardening tasks at the Arcade.

And with quintessential GoodGym hard work , enthusiasm, humour and the power of numbers, we were able to absolutely nail : Edging the lawn Turning the compost heap Clearing a mountain of leaves Haloing around the willow tree on the lawn Reinforcing a ‘barricade’ to protect plants including two quinces and a host of daffodils.

Thank You. And half a thousand hurrahs for everyone.
