Why does sweeping never end with just sweeping?
This is my experience of GoodGym...
"...yeah – that sounds about right – maybe just start with some sweeping over there..."
...and before you know it... you've built a gazebo or painted a bench!
Just sweeping was how our wonderful group – of Charlie, Danny, Emily, Gosia, Gus, Imogen, John, Michael, and Steve – started at the beautiful Cecil Sharp House on Wednesday evening.
In perfect May sun, sweeping strewn leaves is a good place to start – I even thought perhaps it really will just be sweeping – but then...
... Emily grabbed a hose and started dousing the (bountiful) flower beds around the house – I even flowers inch their heads towards the flowing water, and then...
...Charlie, Danny, Gus, Imogen, and John descended on a pile of... well, I'm not too sure what it was really – wooden crates, fallen branches, cut ivy – a pile of things that needed discarding! I turned my back and before I knew it... the van's boot was cleared, the crates had been snapped, and everything had been tidily bagged up! And then...
...seemingly everyone was busy planting seeds (all manner of wonderful flowers) in a row of planters! And not to forget...
...the sweeping that everyone started with... that was all finished too :)
And we finished off by cutting some fresh mint (all gifted to us by our brilliant host, Susannah) to take home – very wonderful!
Amazing work, everyone! Thank you for a lovely evening!

BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP...
...what's that, we all said...
...BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP...
...it's a fire alarm, we all realised as we arrived at Ashdown Crescent Sheltered Housing yesterday evening...
...IT'S BEING SORTED...
...we were assured – which it safely was – just as our wonderful group (of Celine, Danny, Hanry, Helen, Emilie, John, Justine, Siobhan, and Steve) got going with multiple tasks in Ashdown's special communal gardens!
Emilie, John, and Siobhan cracked a thirty minute miracle turning an overgrown patio into a serene space to relax - amazing!
Justine and Danny seemed to be constantly filling green bags – they captured weeds, trimmings, and other debris – and their efforts transformed the main entrance way into a space to enjoy - wonderful!
And Celine, Hanry, Helen, and Steve must have dabbled in a little magic to make the difference they did - tired and dead-wood filled planters ended up pruned, spruced, and planted with seeds and blubs - magical!
Thank you so much, everyone! Here's to next time!

Justine completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Justine was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Just what are the requirements for a (city farm hosted) May Day Fayre?
We think - from past experience - these has to be sun-lounging goats, snack-hungry guinea pigs, strewn straw, well-used marquees, and home knitted bunting - and this wonderful group helped with the latter two yesterday!
Our brilliant crew - of Justine and Danny (on their first GoodGym good deeds - welcome!!), Anne, Matt, Michael, and Siobhan - turned Kentish Town City Farm's yard into a fayre-ready space.
Multiple marquees were checked for holes, built, and positioned - and lovely woolen bunting was draped and tied across it all - you'll see from the photos just how special it all looked :)
Thank you, everyone! See you soon!!
