Or in this case the vintage toilet water! Another evening of uncovering hidden treasures while sorting the donations for Rose Road’s pop up charity shop in October. From vintage perfumes to magical heat packs (or magiral heat packs?!) to mix tapes (CDs) to giant pipe cleaners to knitted cardigans of every size. We sorted it all. We hope Rose Road raise lots of money at their sale next month. We wouldn’t be surprised if some GoodGymers sneak back to purchase some bargain “Tweed”!

On a sunny and splendid evening in Shirley, the Pub and Pick 2.0 commenced. It's a small movement which will gain tracktion, and the neighbouring areas were well chosen for tonight's litter pick. Coming across many bottle caps, bits of plastic and children's sippy cups broken into pieces, the Pick and Pub crew collected two bags of rubbish to benefit the inhabitants living on the border between Shirley and Freemantle. Not only did the locals thank us, but we came across a lot of rubbish (not documented to protect identities) which was safely placed into bags to help clear the local neighbourhood. Our social deed was polished off with the Pub part of the Pick and Pub which was well received by Chris and myself to finish off a busy week. The evening became crisp with with clear skies to end our session. Long live the movement!

10 awesome goodgymers rocked up at the farm tonight eager and keen to do business!

We were back on muck shovelling duty transporting wheelbarrows full of muck between the compost heaps and the maze site.

We split into two groups - Abby, Sarah, Kathryn, Wilson and Ellie were at the far end of the farm and myself, Finnuala (celebrating the big 50) Serena and Chris nearer the bottom and the maze. Hannah was chief overseer and organiser making sure the compost got to where it needed to go.

Ellie decided to see how long it would take to run end of the farm to the other - 1 minute 11 seconds it turns out!

Chat was fun and good humoured and made the hour go quickly.

Wilson got a fit of the giggles discussing trees and board game discussions were ongoing in our camp.

We ended the evening with cakes to celebrate all the achievements this evening and went home happy and content goodgymers

After our excursion in the cemetery we took a walk across the common to the Hawthorns to paint some fairy doors which will be installed at city farm to create a fairy door trail for the children.

It was lovely to meet our newest taskforce member Finnuala and meet up with Wilson and have a chilled chat and creative time.

Wilson was particularly creative with the pioneering of a goodgym fairy door!

We had a lovely time this morning helping Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery on their monthly conservation task.

Four of us were tasked with completely restoring one of the old tombs, stripping back ivy and overgrowth and brambles.

It was hard work. Chris went to war on the ivy and won - and Hannah had a run in with a spider (now determined as a garden spider thanks to Graces ID skills!)

We managed to restore the tomb to such a degree that we revealed the old stone work. It was very satisfying and we had a fab time.
