Christian didn't fall far from the tree

Wednesday 20th August

Written by Laura

Christian was in his element tonight, he was climbing and sawing trees and playing football with local kids.

The group headed up to Beckhill Community Garden to trim the Ivy from the tree, tidy up the weeping willow & we then put the cuttings onto the dead hedge we made a few weeks ago.

The rest of the gang weeded and trimmed tomatoes. We were then sent home with some Chicken wood mushrooms, runner beans, yellow cucumbers & courgettes. Thanks Lyn!

Helen took the group on a magical mystery tour on the way back!

We said goodbye to Katie who's going travelling for 3 months. Have fun Katie and see you at Christmas!

Pick the Tick out of Rick

Wednesday 13th August

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang!

In 30 degrees heat, we braved a short run up to the OWLS allotments. We've not been in a while so it needed some serious weeding but as there was 18 of us we got loads done and it looked so much better when we left! Adam wheeled Jubz around in a wheelbarrow full of insects, hopefully you've not been bitten Jubz!

We then headed back to Heart for a drink, chips and some lovely Indian cakes curtesy of Jubz's mum, thank you! :) The topics of conversation included erm cake & getting ticks in awkward places!

Great work team!

Edge Shearing...

Wednesday 6th August

Written by Laura

Along with two little visitors, tonight the group ran up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs including edge shearing, mulch moving and weeding. It was a big group so we made fast work & got lots done. The two little visitors enjoyed the run but not the gardening as much, but we made it work! They may stay at home in future! Great work all!

Perfect Picnic & Play-off

Wednesday 30th July

Written by Laura

Last night was our summer social & so we ran up to Beckett Park to have some fun and games. We got into two teams 'Helen's Hillbillies' & 'Canada' to battle it out with some school sports day type activities! We competed in egg & spoon, 3 legged & sack races & then threw hoops, bean bags & it wouldn't be a summer social without a game of human hungry hippos!! Some highlights were Christian powering ahead in the sack race, Alice & Amy winning the 3 legged race (good team work girls) & Katie falling in the sack race (sorry Katie)! We finished off with a game of rounders and then the final results were in...it was a draw!!

After all the fun, we had a picnic to finish off with a lovely selection of savoury & sweet treats. Thanks all, what a great evening!

Welcome to newcomers Amy & Tracey & congratulations to Katie who has reached 100 good deeds! You're awesome :)

It takes a village...to raise a gazebo!

Saturday 26th July

Written by Laura

This afternoon, we met at Bedford Fields to do some planting but we ended up drying out the 6 gazebos instead, after all the rain last weekend. It was good timing as i got to borrow one for this week's picnic in case it rains. We did a bit of weeding and lots of chatting & Jubz made us all laugh as usual. Great to see you all :)
