Before 9 on a lovely sunny morning a small but enthusiastic Goodgym group gathered in front of St Aldhem’s church to be briefed by David, the volunteer church gardener, and allocated their individual socially distanced tasks. Mike, with the electric clippers, tackled the front hedge, which was looking quite exuberant. Nicky chose shears and set to work on the bushes on the Lindsay road side of the church and Christine trimmed shrubs and tidied outside the Girl Guide hall. Andrew worked sorting out the flower borders. Soon the results of our labours were clear and all the sites were looking much neater. The front hedge was looking immaculate! It had been a satisfying morning’s work. Father Pip came to meet us and thanked us for our efforts and David commented that we had saved him 4 hours work. Afterwards it was inspiring to go into the church and see how they have adapted to operate under strict social distancing restrictions and have been able to safely resume services and also keep the church open during the day for private prayer. As the group had later commitments it was decided not to run on this occasion.
