Kash, Sevan and Steph ran from different sides of the borough to meet Clare at Northfield Allotments. This was the final task of the allotment's Halloween weekend... to exorcise the ghouls that had been plaguing the plots for the past few days.

As Clare led them into the allotments, past a dead body wrapped in crime scene tape, she pointed to the opposite side of the path. She matter of factly shared that police had dug up that plot for real in search of a real body 20 years ago, but nothing was found. Yikes.

Back to today's bodies, the GoodGym crew were sent out with a wheelbarrow to collect any spiders, skeletons or most scarily, bunting, which hadn't returned to the underworld after Saturday night's Halloween event. GoodGymers know that bunting can cause nightmares, so it was carefully removed from its stakes and neatly clothes-pegged together. Hopefully it won't cause any tangle tantrums at next year's setup.

Next, body parts and beasties were fished out of vats of water, spiders captured from their webs and Kash wrestled a snake out of a tree (check out the photo). Skeletons were put back into their cardboard coffins and moved to the "skeleton shed", with ghosts decanted into containment units. The team had to get particularly intimate with the old gardener skeleton as they needed to undress them before they were packed away 😳

With the allotments mostly back in order, Kash discovered the pumpkin graveyard where carefully crafted pumpkins had been placed on the compost heap. Was this a bad thing? Not if they were sacrificing their last days to feed the next generation of giant Northfield pumpkins.

Clare stayed a bit longer to wrap up the packing away. Kash, Sevan and Steph headed off to get some more exorcise, running onto their next jobs of the day.
