Today, a few of the gang met at Bedford Fields for their re-opening party. It was sighthound central with Helen's beautiful Louie, the full size greyhound & my two tiny Italian greyhound's Elphie and Arlagh. They seemed to like each other but Elphie was rather dramatic over the fire so I had to take her home! It was lovely to see everyone:)

After park run we headed to the garden at Sunshine and Smiles to do various jobs including:

-Moving the broken bench and the bag of garden waste to the front garden -re-filling the sandpit with the grey bags of sand at the side of the garden -Cleaning the benches, slides and red spinning cone. - Sanding & re-painting the benches -Raking out all the sticks from the grassy areas

It's amazing what we can do in an hour and the garden was transformed by the end, ready for an event next week.

Welcome to Alex for her first session!

Good work team!

This morning, Helen and I met at Woodhouse Moor to do park run. It was a beautiful morning and it was so nice to see Helen's face at the end cheering me on!

Tonight, 11 GoodGymers celebrated the return of the lighter evenings! It's felt like a long winter, so spirits were high tonight.

We headed up to Stainbeck United Reformed Church to clear an area of brambles by the car park. We pruned, trimmed, brushed, litter picked & filled 3 huge sacks of debris. We could notice a huge difference when we left, well done team! Lydia got stuck into the brambles, picking all sorts of weird & wonderful things out including a car wheel, a radio & several items of clothing.

Helen took us on a magical mystery tour on the run back to Heart, encountering a bomb shelter & two horses who didn't bat an eyelid as we ran through their field. We must have made friends since last time!

Welcome to David who joined us this evening and Lyn who organised the session.

Great work team!

This evening, 12 GoodGymers came together to do a quick clean at Heart before using the space for our second group sound bath.

I'd like to thank everyone for helping me out with my training to become a sound bath practitioner. For two group case studies, I've had a very willing group of GoodGym members as participants:)

The space isn't ideal as there was some distractions so I would need a quieter space next time.

Lovely to see Tav visiting from GoodGym Colchester & it was also good to see some weekenders join us on a Wednesday too.

We finished off with a search for a phone and a drink in the bar where we talked about Jubz's new car...I even got a guided tour!

After several changes in task this week, 8 GoodGymers still got together to run around 4.5K and to litter pick around the Hyde Park Corner area. We filled 8 bags with Christian & Katie being the champions and filling theirs the fullest! Car wheels and dead squirrels were found along with many, many cigarette ends.

A few milestones were reached tonight; Jason completed his 35th good deed & Christian & Shannen both completed their 30th! Well done guys & keep up the good work.

Thanks to Helen for another great run.
