Two Goodgymmers spent the afternoon sprucing up a much loved garden. The gravel orchard was weeded, four very stubborn brambles were uprooted and dozens of fallen apples were rounded up for the birds. We finished up by sweeping the leaves into the composter for next year’s mulch!

Four GoodGymmers met at Oasis ready to deliver the leaflets for Splott Community Volunteers. The leaflets were to let locals know about their regular activities like their weekly breakfast club but also about their big 10th anniversary celebrations which are happening on Saturday 16th of August 12-5pm at The Star Centre in Splott.

After eating a lovely almond and jam cookie generously provided by Neda (thanks/diolch!) the group were ready to set off. With Andrew navigating the streets, the group worked seamlessly to deliver the 180 leaflets in record time. Jen and Neda were off to do another good deed afterwards but they had a bit of spare time before their bus was due, so we all headed for a drink at the local cafe.

We chatted about travel plans and escape rooms and while thinking of the pun for the task, Jen taught us a new word “Jentacular" that means relating to or pertaining to breakfast. Overall it was a lovely morning with Jen stating ‘it’s been wonderful’ as she head to continue doing good and getting two deeds closer to getting her black t-shirt! You can do it Jen!!

Two Goodgymmers trimmed a hedge that had got out of control and was blocking the light coming into the living room and bedroom.

We put on our handy hats and got stuck into building a flatpack cat playground complete with hammock, scratch posts, snoozing dome and scramble net. All to keep an energetic feline friend out of mischief!

Hot weather is here and no one needs an overgrown lawn when they should be outside enjoying the sun! It was several feet high so took a few strims, a few mows, and a few more strims but now the garden is cut back, easier to maintain, and perfectly ready for summer!

We dug out a flowerbed overrun with weeds and dead plants so that a new display of colourful flowers can be planted to match the rest of the beautiful front garden. Of course, we left the gorgeous Hollybush and little strawberry plants, sporting a single strawberry :)
Unfortunately we forgot to take a ‘before’ photo but the SIX sacks full of weeds speaks for itself!
