It was great to get started on a new task this morning, joining forces with Jason from the Southmead Hospital Allotment team and regular volunteer, Georgina, to start work on clearing space for the creation of a wildflower meadow.

Despite the persistent rain, we were far from miserable and it was lovely to welcome back Alexandra, now GoodGyming in Cambridge, but here in Bristol for a week and catch up on her news. We also welcomed Babu attending his first GoodGym task, and demonstrating great perseverance in tracking us down.

With Melanie and Richard making up our dream team we set about cutting out and removing slices of turf and made good progress until Jason finally called time on today's effort, but keen to have us back again.

Hopefully this will turn into a regular monthly session, as there's plenty to do here.

Great work everyone!
