We were well-prepared for the evening's session back at Hebron Burial Ground, or thought we were, with plans to conquer the social media worlds of Instagram and TikTok, except for not videoing anything.

But we got up to great chopping with first-timers Emma, Angela and Aaron getting stuck in despite the "light drizzle" making everything a little more slippery than we'd hoped but turning out to be good practice for the black ice in Queen Square on our way back.

There was a wall of GoodGym activity across the upper part of the burial ground as we get ever closer to the far boundary, snipping and slicing and chopping and raking away the brambles, doing our best to keep warm on a chilly night.

Chatting kept us going with Time Travel and rehabilitating tyrants by showing them love as children, flights to Barbados turning around mid-Atlantic due to goings-on in Venezuela, comedy clubs and gigs around Bristol and how lovely Bristol. And GoodGym Bristol especially.

All rounded off with a bit of skating on the black ice and warming up at Workout with tea or cider - same again next week?

Sub-zero temperatures and out litter-picking kit being being locked up for new year couldn't stop GoodGym Bristol from doing good.

Armed with trowel, hand forks and black bags, we left a patch if the New Cut much tidier and saved two bags of rubbish from being blown into the river.

Hooray for GoodGym Bristol!

As well as the spring bulbs putting in an early appearance, we were back at Brunswick to tackle more weeds loosened by the wet weather and before it freezes solid. We even managed to plant a grass from my balcony - weed for my balcony, hopefully quick to grow bigger in a flowerbed!
