I help a lovely and interesting lady pack up some of her delicate things before she moved home.

Six black bags and a small box full of flattened cardboard...could I manage it all in one take down 3 floors and along a path to Miss V's communal bin area...with a bit of juggling, the answer was yes.

Mr T has discovered how much better M&S Greek style yoghurt is compared to the tubs from Lidl, so alongside M&S sardines and soup, this has now become his yoghurt of choice - which then got us into a lengthy discussion about what food items you would want from a "higher end" shop vs what's okay from the budget end (in his case cheese, spinach, carrots, but definitely definitely not soup!). Yet again it proved to be another interesting afternoon's discussion.

10 GoodGymers turned out for the most autumnal of all autumnal tasks AND Emily hit 200 good deeds!
This special group – Alex, Danny, Emily, Helen, Jackie, John, Kareem, Siobhan, and Steve – donned head torches and gloves and grabbed rakes and brooms in our first properly dark task of the season!
Our home for the evening was Cecil Sharp House, which is itself home to the biggest and best trees in all of Camden...
... which does mean there are plenty of leaves!
Cue 10 GoodGymers meticulously collecting bag upon bag upon bag of falling autumn :)
And amidst all of this effort we were celebrating a very special milestone yesterday evening: Emily – who frequents Camden, Islington, and other GG areas – hit a whopping 200 good deeds! A huge well done and thank you, Emily!
We will back to Cecil Sharp every 3 weeks during the leaf-falling season, and I'm already looking forward to the next session :)
Thank you, everyone!

Ran halfway there and back but the hill is always a killer. Ms F was glad to see me again after a few weeks. Had the usual frustration with no Breaded Haddock on Thursdays. I’ve got to know the women at checkout quite well by this point. I really appreciated the tea and biscuits at the end.

6 GoodGymers caught the autumn sun and emptied a compost heap!
Nestled in a (large) nook in Chalk Farm sits Adelaide Community Garden. It is huge and wild, and home to a lovely number of carefully nurtured allotments.
This special group – of Caitlin, Helen, Igor (on their first GoodGym trip to Camden – welcome!), Imogen, and Steve – made a wonderful difference yesterday morning.
Amidst conversation and autumn sun, they worked in pairs to dig out the compost heap 👉 wheelbarrow the mulch through the allotments 👉 carefully dispense everything into manageable sacks 👉 and build a stack of bags ready for use on the allotments :)
I know that everything will be put to excellent use very soon – thank you so much, everyone!
