The Seddon Children’s/ community centre in E10 needed our help today. Their goal: clearing a shed and the space in front from which to run their food bank 🥫 for the good people of Leyton.

Today: clearing the space 🧤 in front of the shed of weeds 🍃 and leaves 🧹 and sorting the contents of the shed. Next time: cleaning 🧽 and painting.

The lovely GoodGymmer Sarah took some time out from working from home, and was there primed and ready for action, while Sunder briefed us for the task ahead. Thanks also for arranging the sun for us for our respective runs to the task!

Reader, my GoodGym T shirt is missing in action, presumed behind a radiator somewhere..But, I digress. The important thing is, we got the job done. Taking care to preserve fauna- earthworms 🪱, spiders 🕷, snails 🐌 , and other invertebrate chums, Sarah and I cleared the superfluous flora in record time in our trusty marigolds.

Next up: clearing the shed. Ably done by Sarah and Sunder, while I headed off for an another appt. They sorted and cleared, including putting some toys etc. for collection, organising some bits for the caretaker, sweeping out the shed, and all while having a nice chin wag. Ta da! Job done.

There’s more work to do to clean and paint the space, and we look forward to returning! Thanks for having us and being such excellent hosts 😊.
