Oops… the World and his Wife descended very early on the beach today, so that us Goodgymmers combined with a few Bournemouth Ploggers decided to stay well clear of that crazy area. And yet there was still plenty enough to litterpick: a sink (?), a wrench (yay, for being useful to Harry) and two bicycle frames were among the unusual stuff. For the rest: yes, butts (!!!), cans, bottles, tissues, sweet wrappers…. The chine, the viewpoint, the car park and some surrounding roads were scoured by the nine of us. Plenty picked, lots sweated, so a cool drink and icecream in Keith and Lea’s garden was very welcome. Thank you everyone for turning up on this crazy “walk over the heads beach” day. I will try and be more careful when planning our next litterpick!!! Council has been informed of the flytipping pile, 🤞 they have time to remove it!

It was time once again for GoodGym’s monthly quiz night at Abbeyfield Wessex—and what a fantastic evening it was! Janet and Keith joined our favourite ladies, The Loose Women. A big warm welcome also goes to Tony, a new resident at Abbeyfield, and to Lea and Daryl, who joined forces with Team The Winners. Caprice stepped up as quizmaster for the evening, and she didn’t go easy on the teams! The quiz featured four lively rounds. We kicked things off with a tasty challenge: Name That Chocolatey British Biscuit. Next came an egg-themed round that cracked a few smiles. Then Caprice really turned up the heat with a round of eight tricky puzzles that had everyone scratching their heads. The night wrapped up with a good old-fashioned general knowledge round. Both teams were brilliant, and it was a tight contest! The Loose Women scored a very respectable 27 points, but it was The Winners who lived up to their name, finishing with an impressive 31 points. It was another great evening filled with fun, laughter, and lovely company. The GoodGymers will be back on Monday, 2nd July, for more quiz-filled fun—this time with Daryl stepping in as quizmaster. We hope to see you there!

Janet and Daryl meet at Mrs Ds she asked for her front garden to be cleared of weeds and thorns.We set to work and had the weeds pulled out and as for the thorns they were all over the garden I'm sure there was one too Many. We soon had the garden looking good again.Mrs D was really pleased with what we had achieved she was so pleased to have the front cleared
