...of unwanted grass and weeds. Our team gathered once again at St. Matthew's Church to tackle some much-needed grave upkeep. It was great to be back, with Ashley, Pete and Pianofire joining our friend David to make the resting places more presentable. Despite the dark, cold, and peaceful night, we warmed up quickly as we got to work. The highlight of the evening? Discovering Colin’s impressive pinball world ranking—who knew he was a true pinball wizard!

Ashley and Pete were joined by Pianofire at the church. This time we were tasked with cleaning up and leveling some of the graves which had accumulated inches of dirt over the years. Armed only with shovels, a wheelbarrow and a sunny disposition we set about our mission. Having negotiated several ants nests, numerous wheelbarrow dumpings and a few pieces of rocky road cake, we surveyed out good work and were pleased with the results.

Ashley and Pete met new member Pianofire for their first mission at GoodGym. We set about litter picking in the park ahead of the Darley Park Concert. This year, it's not free and they erected large walls to block the view. Top find of the evening was a lawnmower shredded bra which took a while to pick up all the pieces. We ended up with 3 good bags of rubbish which is quite unusual for this park. A beautiful evening for a walk in nature and a chat.
