What a lovely evening! In very humid weather, Helen led us up to Bedford Fields with a bit of Japanese style slow jogging...we got in formation & recreated the craze (& felt like proper wally's).
We met the rest of the gang at Bedford & got to work clearing the stones from the path. We then weeded the edges to finish the job.
We spent a lot of time chatting tonight...it was too hot to work. That's our excuse anyway!
Well done to Rachael on her 105th task tonight.

Last night, 3 GoodGymers helped OWLS by delivering their leaflets to their service users around Headingley, Burley & Kirkstall.
Thanks to Helen for mapping the routes & to Alan for joining our session.

Two questions were posed tonight:
Is that a cow or a sheep?
Are leaks just big spring onions?
The answers to those questions are as follows: Sheep & No, but they re in the same family!
Tonight, we were at Meanwood Farm for wheel hoeing, planting leaks and weeding. We love it down there and always get a good variety of tasks. Surprisingly though, we weren't asked to turn compost for the first time....Helen's disappointment was palpable.
Another great evening, thanks all.

On a hot hot hot evening, Rachael led the team on a chatty, sweaty jog along the ridge up to Bedford Fields. They weeded, wood chipped & ate gooseberries in the shade.
Thanks to Rachael for leading & to everyone else for turning up in this heat!
Welcome to Christopher who completed his first session.

If you know, you know...
I love summer GoodGym nights when the weather is good! Tonight the Leeds gang headed to Beckhill Community Garden to help clear a load of weeds in the orchard area. We cleared a large space & it really opened the space up. It's now ready for scouts & school children to come into the space without getting nettled.
My little dogs provided cuddles & entertainment which I think everyone enjoyed.
Well done to Joao who completed his 10th good deed last night & to Jason on his 90th! Amazing! We also said goodbye to Ross tonight, who is going on his travels. Good luck Ross!

What an amazing group we had this evening with 9 newcomers all joining us!
We headed to Bedford Fields for lots and lots of weeding! It was lucky we had 22 people, because for an hour, all we did was pull out the sticky weed & bindweed & although we made a good dent in it, there's always more weeding to do.
We found the strangest thing amongst the weeds, a pair of false teeth! Now that's a new one.
Welcome to James, Joanne, Lukas, Emily, Fabiha, Aden, Abi, James & Deepa! And thanks to Erica for bringing more work colleagues! We hope to see you all again soon.
