Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams
It was our first visit of 2025 to the Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park this evening!
Ken, the Park’s manager of over 22 years, greeted us, and it was great for new and regular members to have a catch-up with him before we headed out for our task.
Welcoming the group one by one, we slowly made our way over to the tool shed to grab loppers, rakes and wheelbarrows.
As Ken loaded the wheelbarrows, GoodGymers took the opportunity to stash bags in the office, before meandering across the North West side of the park our task location for the evening.
Tonight we were clearing ivy from headstones and chopping back brambles in an area that needs a bit of preparation for a new footpath that’s being established.
Ken divided us into two teams to head back into the park, away from the headstones.
Barrows were filled quickly, and a dent made in the area in no time.
GoodGymers emerged time and again from the undergrowth with armfuls of ivy and brambles, pausing only to pose patiently for a photo, which seem to take an increasing amount of time, thanks to an ageing phone.
At two minutes to eight, we wheeled the last barrow around to the vegetation heap and gathered the tools.
We made our way back through the park and headed to the tool shed, and then to the front of the fence, for our final last photo.
It was a great start to the week. After a chilly few days, it was still a real treat to get together and lend a hand in one of our borough’s prettiest places.
And the shout-outs tonight to:
Ruby, who joined us for her first task! Great to see you, Ruby and hope to see you again soon.
Lobo, who brought doughnuts for the whole team, as part of his post-task, January Challenge pep talk.
And to our brilliant task owner, Ken, who gave us another fun Monday night and a splendid pun.
Until next time.
