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”!

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

Its no exaggeration when we say that there are 10,000 leaflets needing delivering for the farm - there really are 10,000 leaflets needing delivering.

Although my memory skills were discussed this evening (being photographic) i honestly cannot keep tabs on how many leaflets weve delivered now. I think we must be over 1000 delivered.

This task saw the celebration of Hannah 50th task! She wore the badge with pride around surrounding roads before handing the honours over to Finnuala who was to be celebrating her 50th at the next task which followed.

We had a nice stroll and chat before heading back to the farm

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.
