Yesterday morning, 8 of us gathered at Mycenae Gardens to dig up weeds, lop the low hanging trees and gather a giant bag of pine cones which will be given to some local schools. Well, those that Arthur didn't manage to scurry away in his pockets.
The gardens have recently received a grant to plant up the areas we've been weeding and they are gradually looking more tended and we'll be doing some more planting in the Autumn.
After an hour, we enjoyed a lovely bit of cake and headed off to the pleasance for a coffee.
On Wednesday we're back at St Richards.
Until next time!

This morning 10 of us gathered, with four mini litter pickers in tow, to join the Friends of Woolwich Common for their monthly litter pick. Such is the GoodGym community that several of us bumped into each other in Charlton Park - on that note, special welcome back to Ibrahim on your third task in a week! Seems like someone's got the GoodGym bug!
After gathering all the necessary equipment, we all headed off to different parts of the common, filling lots of bags of rubbish and a couple of dumped chairs and lots of chats along the way. Thanks to Robyn for sharing her snacks at the end! And to Ashton for pumping up my running buggy tyres. No excuse now!
On Wednesday we're back at Brooklands School for more soil shifting.
Until next time 😊

Wednesday was no ordinary session. Firstly we had two newbies join us, big welcome to Ibrahim and Bobby - it was great to have you along!
Nadirah brought her team of students to film their documentary on an interesting run club- thanks for picking us!
After a quick interview, we introduced ourselves and shared our best binge worthy shows (books for those who don't watch much telly) and then did a little warm up and headed off for our run. We did feel rather important, with Nadirah sprinting ahead to get some action shots of us all. Now we know what it's like to be chased by paparazzi.
At the garden, Annie got us to task, with Robert and Ibrahim watering the trees. Shout out to Sarah for managing to open the padlock, we wouldn't have got far without the hose! The rest of us got to work weeding and cutting back the grass while chatting away and the crew filmed the lot. A lovely evening in nature and a good reminder of the positive impact of exercise, community and doing good- it does us so much good too!
After a group pic, Bobby headed back with Annie to take the wheely bin back and the rest of us headed back to Charlton House for a little stretch and a few shots of us walking away at the end of the session.
Well done team. It makes such a difference for 10 of us to do a load of work at the garden and Annie's always so grateful.
Next weds we're back at Charlton house for a run to Brooklands to do more soil shifting!
Until next time,
Rachel
