I Ain't Saying She's a Cold Digger

Wednesday 26th November

Written by Laura

Tonight we had a dark, muddy run along the ridge to head to Meanwood Valley Farm for the last time this year.

We faced the cold and rain at the farm whilst weeding, hoeing and digging and moving compost.

We got loads done in 50 minutes & Andy at the farm rewarded us with some kale, garlic, apples, fennel and more!

We've loved our tasks at the farm this year and will be back for more in 2026.

Great work everyone!

There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing...

Wednesday 19th November

Written by Laura

Seeing as though two of our members were in shorts tonight, we'll do well to remember that in future!! It was a freezing night & even though Lydia had 7 layers on, she still looked absolutely freezing! I hope everyone managed to warm up.

We ran across the ridge tonight & met Beth at The Chemic Tavern and litter picked around the area. When we could no longer feel our fingers and toes, we headed back.

Well done for coming out in this weather guys. Stay warm :)

Last night, we had a great time at Leeds Grand Theatre watching The Book of Mormon. It was so good, we're all playing the sound track on repeat!

Thanks for a fun night all.

A Joke is a Very Serious Thing

Wednesday 12th November

Written by Laura

Tonight, we met at Heart for a very soggy run through Beckett Park & were completely soaked when we got back! We then did a Christmas crafts activity for CAMHS mental health units. This is a task we did last year, making paper chains with jokes on for the young people to put up in their units. Helen & Christian cut the paper while the rest of us wrote Christmas jokes on them. I'll send them off this week.

Well done to Lydia who completed her 25th good deed tonight.

Welcome back to Helen who was a member before Covid & joined us back again after a long break this evening, we hope to see you again soon :)

Good work team!

A Full moon, Fertiliser, Flowerpots & Fireworks

Wednesday 5th November

Written by Laura

Tonight we ran across the ridge, admiring the fireworks & the full moon along the way.

We headed to Meanwood Valley Farm where half the group got to work cleaning out plant pots and the floor in the green house whereas the rest of us did our usual job of turning the compost. It was a muddy & smelly job but Helen hosed us all down at the end.

It was nice to meet Andreia & Sarah-Jane for the first time. Welcome to GoodGym Leeds.
