Our monthly RFS visit saw 2 GGRs turn out on a rather damp Saturday morning.

We welcomed Evelyn for one of her first Good Gym tasks, and along with Adam was assigned the challenge of clearing another of the side passage ways to provide further storage space.

This proved a highly effective work out, moving items such as a broken ladder, footballs and other heavy objects.

By the end a mysterious door was uncovered, proving that the phrase when one door closes another opens highly appropriate!

Just three of us this evening but three hard workers who cleared as many of the leaves all over the lawn as possible, a full body workout!

A neatening evening in Richmond town centre as we headed to St Mary Magdalene churchyard where the grade II listed war memorial needed some tidying up. Under the watchful eye of task owner Ken we weeded the bed and tidied up the slabs that surround it before Ken blew in with his leaf blower and cleared away the loosened weeds, moss and grass to leave the whole thing ready for remembrance.

On Saturday morning 4 GGers from Richmond arrived at Homemead Residential Care home ready to get stuck in to tidying and sprucing up the garden.

However, the changes had been rung at Homemead as new resident Eric had appointed himself Head Gardener and had done a lot of work getting the garden into good shape.

We were introduced to Eric who made it clear in no uncertain terms that our services would be neither required nor welcome… in fact we would be “booted out” in future! He was actually hilarious and a lovely chap…we think 😆
