Nothing beets Goodgym!

Wednesday 30th August 2023

Written by Newcastle runner

I was really looking forward to this task this evening.

While I was weeding I was thinking about the little joys of life. Two hours prior to the task I was buried in a mountain of work. I was feeling quite overwhelmed and I took a breath and said, "and it is okay". I think it helped and I knew this task would be a welcomed retreat.

I did a little bit of weeding in my short time and really got a lot from it. Joining me in the allotment were lots of creatures of various sizes.

This allotment charity could really do with some extra hands to help them with transforming this space.

All are welcome to goodgym.

Take care everyone.

Weed done it!

Hidden among a residential street is a derelict allotment with huge potential but needs a lot of work.

Tonight’s task was to tackle a corner overgrown with weeds.

After a quick briefing we set away cutting back and digging up the weeds.

By time we lost the light we’d cleared a strip in front of the greenhouse.

Looking forward to seeing how this corner looks in day light.
