Six Goodgymmers, Graeme, Roger, Paul, Daryl, Keith and Lea, turned up at St Aldhelm’s church. Welcome to Graeme, this was his first official Goodgym task, he did one or two unofficial tasks before. It was Roger’s second official task. Always nice to get new people involved! So we got to the church to help clear the garden of weeds… lots of weeds there were, but no gardener! His name being David Jokes, we wondered: is this the joke? But Paul and Vicar to the rescue: Paul knows the church and got the vicar who then came and told us what you do and we got the tools we needed. After a while a very apologetic David arrived. He had obviously had a few more than “forty winks”! We worked for a good 90 minutes in perfect weather conditions and got lots done! Graeme learned a lot about deadheading Sissi…eh what?! He learned to deadhead them but not their proper name… just goes to show you don’t need to be able to name the plant to deadhead it. Which also goes for weeding… but you do need to know whether something is a weed or not… oops we may have pulled out a few plants rather than weeds😱🤣! Anyway gardens being gardens: there’s plenty more to do, so keep your eye for new dates! Thanks everyone for doing another Goodgym deed!
