Greenwich Report written by Rachel Henry
Last night Julian, Marta and Khai ran the distance in the heat to Brooklands, the rest of us making our own way there. In no time we were ready to get stuck into the earthy business of shifting a mountain of soil to their newly built veggie beds. During two previous sessions we had depleted the store and filled two beds but we still had a lot to go.
Armed with shovels, spades, and a surprisingly musical fleet of wheelbarrows, the team got straight to it. Soil flew, sweat dripped, and laughter echoed as we powered through the task—step by step, barrow by barrow.
But tonight wasn’t just any GoodGym task. No no—we had a centurion in our midst. 🥳 HUGE congratulations to Khai on completing his 100th good deed! 💯 Incredibly humble and kind, always looking out for everyone else and a pleasure to spend time with, Khai is a highly valued member of our group!
Anyway, that's quite enough praise, Khai will have his head in his hands at this point. As the evening settled and the barrows rolled on, someone started humming a familiar tune... and soon, the soil-shifting spell was cast:
Shovel shovel toil and trouble, Wheelbarrow squeak and sweat a’ bubble. Load it high and push it fast, Make this veggie bed built to last. Soil on boots and sun on brow, No time to stop—we’re shifting now! Dig and dump, the wheel spins true, With Khai the centurian leading the crew. Spade and scoop and compost thrum, Helping hands till the job is DONE.
And done we were! By the end, we’d shifted a serious amount of soil and left the veggie beds ready for action—Brooklands students will be growing their greens in no time 🫛🥬
Thanks to everyone who came and mucked in (literally).
Next week we're back at Charlton Manor, this Sunday we've got the Hornfair Parksfest and remember our Sunday walk next week!
Until next time
