On a lovely, sunny Autumn morning, we headed to meet Lynn at Beckhill Community Garden to help out with some weeding and wood chipping. They're getting ready to plant some bulbs next month, so we were helping to prepare the garden for that.

I brought my two little dogs with me who provided cuddles & entertainment & one found what looked like a dead mouse & ate the whole thing...I have a feeling she might pay for that later!

Thanks for a great morning all.

What a star we have in Helen! She did her 225th good deed over the last week delivering all of OWLS leaflets on her own.

Thanks Helen, as always, you're a superstar!

Last night, at Bedford Fields, the team moved pallets and slates ready for the shed build on 1 Nov.

The main task that everyone joined in on was digging the soil from a 'dead hedge' that Goodgym and others have added to over several months. The twigs, brambles and leaves had composted down into a lovely rich earth. It was so nice, we gathered up more old vegetation to start a new hedge, ready to continue the cycle.

Good work team!

Tonight we had to split the group in two but we missed being part of a full group!

Helen, Amy, Alan & I did leafletting for Headingley Development Trust. We were promoting both Headingley Greengrocers & the Natural Foodstore. These are community run shops, funded by the Development Fund.

The rest of the group headed up to Rainbow Junction at All Hallows Church. We had a quick jog there, met Jules and Saul and then started working on digging up a hilly patch that they want to turn into tiered veggie plots. We were each armed with a mattock and got digging - it was a great work out. Lauren also had a go on the streamer to clear some of the longer grass - which she said gave her flash backs to earning her pocket money. Then thankfully the sunset reminded us that we should probably be heading again and we jogged back again.

We're looking forward to getting the gang back together next week, but thanks all for chipping in.

The Cardigan Arms for comedy...

5 Goodgymers headed to the Cardigan Arms after the task tonight to watch comedian Eric Rushton.

It was a great night. Thanks to Jubz for organising :)

Tonight me & my eyebrows met the gang at Heart & had a run down to Meanwood Valley Farm.

We had a big hoe down, weeding the polytunnels and the outside beds. Freddie used a very cool contraption which is called a weed snatcher! We also laid some compost & had a general tidy up.

The run back was quite dark...I think head torches are now needed sadly!

Well done to Shannen on her 50th good deed tonight :) You're a superstar!

A big welcome to Analise & Angela, we hope to see you again soon. It was also nice to see Emily again after a long break.
