Tonight the Good Gym Waltham Forest posse met for a spot of gardening in the charming surroundings of Walthamstow Village. Kicking off things nice an easy with a 1k run to arrive at Change Grow Live (CGL), a local charity who do some crucial work helping people and families who are affected by drug and alcohol addiction.
These folks work hard to help people but who is helping their garden? Folks like this deserve to look out of their window and see a healthy and eye-catching garden, don't they? Of course, they do so that's where we come in. Clearing out all the dead stuff and helping to restore the garden to something a little more appealing was our mission for the evening. And the team worked so efficiently that within a matter of minutes all five of the refuse bags that were available had been filled to the brim.
Never Fear Nisa Is Here With bags rapidly depleting and much decomposing detritus left still to dispose of a quick trip was made to the local Nisa to restock with a roll of bags. It just so happened that the bags happened to be located near to the Jaffa Cakes, so they had to go into the carrier bag too.
With more bagging, weeding, cutting and tidying we were ready to run again and we headed to Lloyd Park for a full lap and some drills as dusk descended.
After that, it was back to base for drinks and at long last our Jaffa Cake biscuit cake thingy.
Next week, same time, same place, different task. See you there; it is sure to be the best thing happening in E17 all evening. Sign up here, sign up now
