Spatchcocked Giraffe

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Sunshine made for a relaxed start to the Group (Run) Walk with everyone opting for the slower pace to Brunswick Cemetery with lits of chat and excitement provided by two swans nearing each other with Frances adding jeopardy with a running commentary of "friends or enemies" - turned out they were lovely friends.

Jo and Di from the friends group were there to meet us and we decided on giving our attention to a path that we'd (pun alert) not tidied for a while. High, low and everything in between was targeted by enthusiastic GoodGymmers, except Darren who wasn't up in the enthusiasm stakes.

Richard G, Richard B and Frances specialised in bindweed gathering (did you know it can be used as a diuretic?) then shrub shaping, Julie did an amazing job at tidying everyone's cuttings and weeds whilst Freya showed her completer/finisher side by continuing her previous work on paving weeding and edge tidying.

The huge pile of green waste from the previous day's Friends session with a GG Community Mission was even bigger by the tine we set off for Eats and discussions about the upcoming Board Games Night with Frances whetting our appetite with a recommendation of a Chinese Whispers meet Pictionary mash-up where velociraptor Jesus became spatchcocked giraffe, obviously.

All good fun, and more to come next week.

You don’t want to step in it

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

The planned task may have been postponed but thats not going to stop GoodGym Bristol from helping out somewhere in the community.

Off to Brunswick it was with the sky looking like it was going to rain, as it had on and off all day and humidity high. The walkers were glad to be walking!

We're going to be at Brunswick next week, too, but this was a great opportunity to get stuck in with the grounder a bit damper and perfect for getting peaky weeds out of the spiral path as well as cutting back Jerusalem Sage that has flowered and is getting ready to spread seeds to create EVEN MORE of the lovely plant that spreads weed-like in the Cemetery.

The chopping was taken to a whole new level with the skilled removal of the shrub threatening the trellis, and some quick appreciation of the mural visible from the corner of the park before we headed back to Workout for more chat and drinks.

Same again next week?
