On Monday evening Goodgym Brent met in Willesden , ready to return to one of our favourite tasks , Clitterhouse Farm House . We warmed up with a short round of dynamic exercises , then set of for a 2.3km run . Josh led the group , with Samina keeping up the pace. Anne Marie and Hannah supported eachother along the way, and Pete and Tabitha dragged along at the back. It was a rollercoaster ride but we made it in one piece , with red faces to match our t shirts .

Anika was eagerly awaiting our arrival , and had a choice of tasks waiting: weeding , pruning rosemary, spreading woodchip, breaking down cuttings for compost and cleaning the greenhouse windows .

We split the tasks and got to it , shortly joined by Kat and Lee who got stuck in immediately

We worked away until we began to lose daylight , stopped for a photo then jogged or walked back

We ended with a drink in Beer & burger and some more chips ... the edible kind

great job everyone !

First group met at Beer & Burger including Tabitha, Pete, Hannah, Josh and Samina. Shaking off the long weekend slumps, the journey to Kingsgate began.

A little sweaty and out of breath, the team meets Ajay at the task location, with Beatriz and Lee also joining.

After a short walk and instruction the gardening team got to work, pruning, sculpting, weeding, and creatively building a floral masterpiece in the garden plots. The end result being so perfect local residents came outside to enquire and offered to water them moving forward.

Feeling fulfilled and content the team started the uphill climb back to consume a well deserved drink and chip or two!

Meg, Josh, Tabitha, Amir, Karen and Pete all met at Beer n Burger on a warm evening in Willesden. Tabitha led a warm-up then Josh led us on a run 2.1 km to Kilburn Grange Park to meet Ajay from Kinsgate Community Centre who filled us in on what to do and provided tools and gloves. Josh, Pete, Meg and Amir got to work with forks digging and turning soil in the open triangular bed while Tabitha and Karen weeded the rose garden, pulling out the bindweed. The diggers really dug it doing a forking good job all around the perimeter of the bed while Karen and Tabitha were knot in a bind, pulling out an enormous pile of bindweed. It was a good turn out and it turned out good. Then Amir and Tabitha dug up and re-planted the apple tree in the kids playground. A good job all round. Josh then led us on a run back to B&B where Karen led a cool-down, then we piled into B&B for refreshments 😁 🍻and a chat. Full run 4.2km and a good job for Kingsgate Community centre. See you next time ⏲️
