A chilly morning didn't deter us from heading out to assist Ms S with some much-needed garden jobs.

We put the cold weather behind us and got straight to work, tackling the weeds on the patio followed by pruning various shrubs to significantly improve and clear the garden space.

Shout-out and massive congratulations to Rachael for completing her very first Mission in Merton! We made a visible difference, leaving the area feeling much neater and brighter - hope this is the first of many missions to come.

What a great example of adaptability from the team tonight! We headed to the Tranquil garden at Mostyn gardens, originally tasked with painting the remaining planters. However, thanks to the day's heavy rain, we had to quickly switch gears and embrace some other jobs.

Fortunately, the rain stopped just as we arrived, leaving us with a clear (if very dark!) sky. So we got stuck in: - Digging a new bed and preparing for future bulb planting. - Clearing vines that has overgrown along the fence. - Weeding the woodchipped area, relying on torchlight to scan the space.

It was a productive and unique session that proved GoodGym can shine even in the darkest corners.

A huge well done to everyone for making the most of the unexpected change of plans and leaving Mostyn Gardens a little neater.

This afternoon we visited a new location at St. James church to dive into a literary workout, setting up their highly anticipated book fair.

It was a serious lifting session moving countless heavy boxes of books, but the team's efficiency meant we tackled this huge logistical challenge in no time. We then moved onto the organising phase which required focus and precision as we sorted and arranged the many donated books, from fiction to non-fiction.

Great work, team! There's another chapter tomorrow helping with the packing away and plenty more events, so we will be back.
