Bexley Report written by Sarah W
This was our first time at Holy Trinity Lamorbey Church where the parish administrator, Pat, and parishioners Annie and Rosie (with her children), gave us a warm welcome and explained the task: clear a tangle of brambles and weeds from a flowerbed, and pull up the underlying plastic membrane, if possible.
With the church summer fayre taking place in just a few days, the pressure was on to make things look neater and tidier!
We were a hive of activity as we jumped to it: cutting back the growth, digging out roots, heaving up the membrane, and barrowing the cuttings to a compost area.
We downed tools at one point to rescue a toad and carefully move it to a new home in nearby bushes ๐ธ.
We think we also disturbed a bumble bee nest as there were lots of them buzzing around our legs. Simon got stung through his socks twice, ouch! ๐๐๐
Several passers by stopped to comment on our work - the red GG tshirts certainly make us stand out!
And what a difference between before and after! We cleared the whole area and we could hardly bee-lieve how much we got done in just an hour.
We'll bee back again across the summer to help with more tasks in the garden. Hop along and join us.

The sun was out and so were Good Gym. An amazing 8 of us turned up to help the team at Hervey Road, where Annie and Richard are working hard to build a garden behind the sports field.
We were met first by Khai who had had the presence of mind and kindness of heart to bring water for everyone, which was really helpful as it was certainly hot. Annie soon arrived and were assigned to a multitude of tasks with some of the team watering some very thirsty trees, others cutting the grass and others weeding the various beds, all the time making sure we didn't cut down or kneel on or otherwise trash any of the beautiful wild flowers growing. And what was also nice to see was that we were joined by countless bumblebees and ladybirds, showing that South East London is a wonderful hot-bed for nature.
After an hour we were all pretty much exhausted and it was time for photos before heading off to enjoy the sunshine,
Finally, I can''t finish the report without a shout out for Sarah, who had completed her 400th parkrun that morning,. This is such a brilliant achievement so well done Sarah.
