We had a very satisfying morning wrestling brambles. Two GoodGymers joined other volunteers to help clear the area next to Coldham's Brook, a chalk stream habitat. We made excellent progress cutting back some very overgrown bramble. With tea, biscuits and some enjoyable conversation, it was an great task. Thanks to Caitlin for welcoming us and we look forward to supporting another task soon.

On a freezing morning, the hole digging soon made us warm. Each fruit Bush needed a hole loads bigger than the pot it was in because the ground underneath had not been disturbed ever before and so it was solid rock and clay. Those poor roots needed all the help we could give them! Then we moved on to straightening up and strengthening the fencing protecting it all. Many thanks to Nick and Harriet - we made a good team alongside Caitlin and her other helpers.
