The winter nights are truly with us now as we had a crisp late November in Brixton where Charlotte and Tilly met AA Yianny before we set off to our task.

We had a few people running late who would meet us at Holy Trinity and we were delighted to welcome along Rhiannon fir her first GG session, great to have you with us! Also meeting us there were our resident cyclists Marie-Noelle and Paul, Lambeth legend Michael and of course Nicole, Adam and HT volunteers and Father Nature himself James, it was a bumper group for a bumper task.

HT had received two truckloads of steaming woodchip and we divided into two groups, one shovelling into the wheelbarrows and the other running it up to Ivy's garden at the back to spread it in the orchard.

It felt like a new record was set with many tens of barrows being wheeled up but if you tried to count them all it would leave you barking...... ;0)

We wrapped with a reminder that in two weeks we are back at HT for our Christmas / end of year task and social (along with a chance to see the new hall in all its' glory) so do check that one out and get signed up - we will head to the pub afterwards for a GG quiz and drinks. https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/holy-trinity-carol-prep-gg-christmas-party-tuesday-s-group-run

Huge thanks to all and see you next time.

Last night we headed back down to Thorlands Gardens to meet Simon and carry on the mammoth task of taking the work forward there.

We had a smaller group with AA Yianny meeting Ben and Tilly at Papa's and Michael making his was directly to the task. After a very pleasant conversation espousing the wonderful decade that was the 80s we set off on the 2ish km run down to Thorlands.

Simon was running a bit late so we didn't have long but with the 20 minute window available we headed over to the community garden grabbing a wheelbarrow full of tools, a few large cardboard boxes and we were ready to shovel the clay and woodchip mix onto the cardboard beds.

We split up the boxes, laid them as Simon directed then covered them over so that the foxes couldn't see the edges and destroy them and tidied some of the rubbish that we found.

Big thanks to all for the work and the great conversation and see you all next time! :0)
