Unloaded the van and put the groceries in the pantry room at NPYC

Lillinton Garden estate was one of the last of the high-density public housing schemes built in London during the postwar period and is considered one of the most distinguished. However visitors to the conservation area could find themselves wondering through the labyrinth of paths and covered walkways, past the 19th century church hidden in the middle of the estate and still not spot the sunken garden that is in the process of being turned into a thriving community space.

Luckily GoodGymers have a keen nose for doing good and all met at the green area on a drizzly Tuesday night to help get it prepped for planting. There were plenty of weeds to take up, raking to be done, soil to turn and ivy to trim so we all got cracking with the tasks.

Chat turned to using AI to get a 5km pb training plan, a potential royal visit to GoodGym, future races and, of course, parkrun news. We couldn't believe it when we looked at our watches and saw our session was up. Time flies when you're helping transform a space into something local people can use to promote biodiversity and grow fruit and veg!

Next week we're going to the Abbey Centre to help with various jobs - check out the future sessions as there is always something impactful happening on a Tuesday night in Westminster!

Kamil and Chalomi met in Westminster to help the lovely staff at Traid Bayswater pack away after their sales.

The Traid staff had already packed away the clothes by the time the mission started so Kamil and Chalomi ended up helping them hang and organise the new donations instead. There were two massive piles of bags that needed to be opened, organised and hung out on rails for the next day of trading.

Mr R had pre-empted the fact that for the past two weeks there had been no little gem lettuces on the shelves at his local Tesco, by not putting them on this week's list - of course, when I got there the shelves were full of the little green lettuces...such are the joys of Monday afternoon shopping. I did though fill the basket with everything that he wanted, and we had a very good chat on the doorstep about Mr R gaining confidence to walk a little further each day.

I collected some music equipment that was kindly donated to NPYC and dropped it of to the facility in Lanark Road.

Ms D was determined to go through each item on the list this morning to make sure it was clear (and that I could read her handwriting). She was feeling a bit bored with her usual items, so there were a few new products for me to hunt for (which does keep it interesting), albeit all the old favourites were still very much on the playlist. The sun was out, so it was a pleasant wander up to Waitrose and around the aisles and back again with treasure in both hands.
