So good to be back with Aldermoor Community Farm this evening and with a fantastic turnout. Team work made the dream work for the best short, back and sides for the bushes! Well done to our runners who joined in for a hill session outside the farm before pruning too.

Richard gave us a lovely update on the farm and was ready with gloves and tools for the job. His request for a chamfered bush may have been a step to far.... but we can build up to that! Derek caught his finger on the barbed wire, much to Richards delight as it meant he could put an entry in the accident book.

It was lovely to be joined by Sanat, a new member to Portsmouth Goodgym. Thankyou for coming to our session Sanat, hope you enjoyed it and hope you visit us again soon 😊

We cleaned the Rose Road vehicles - inside and out..... we were tasked with doing 2 maybe 3, cleaning the inside and then the outside if we had time, but many GG hands make light work and we managed to clean 4!

Well done team - you were all awesome 🤩🤩🤩

It was a lovely eve down on the farm yesterday. Abby, Ellie, Leszek and myself went for a short run session beforehand using local roads to run to various paces.

It was our first task of the year in daylight and we got to work shifting barriers and shoveling sand to help make a new enclosure for two ponies soon to arrive on the farm.

It was a good workout and we had a great time - many hands make light work!

Many hands made light work this evening as we set about sprucing up some of the outdoor space for the respite centre at Rose Road. It was brilliant to have a real team effort after a few quiet Mondays and we almost had daylight for the whole session. Chris was the king of the lawnmower (not cans!) while the rest of the team cleared leaves, moss and weeds from the flower beds and patio area. It was great to see Leszek back again as we've missed him at our Monday night sessions. The respite garden looks almost ready for summer days outside now, but we’re hoping we get another chance before BBQ season is upon us as we spotted more weeds than we could manage in one session!
