Comfrey tea and cake

Monday 11th August

Written by Kim

One of those are edible and one of those is stinky but excellent for the plants!! A gaggle of GoodGymers went up and over the hills to meet us at Seniors, whilst those of us meeting at the task had a lovely chat with our hosts for the evening.

Once we'd arrived we set about assigning jobs for the evening, who wanted to dig, who wanted to rip up some comfrey leaves, who wanted to water and who wanted to tackle a delicate job of digging out some seedlings.

There's always a task for everyone and Monday evening was no different except at Senior's there always seems to be a last minute rush for the hosepipe or a last minute dash to make sure something is watered. On Monday we had to make sure the comfrey tea fertiliser was topped up with water so when we come back in September we can water over the plants and give them the goodness.

Tonight we were celebrating Darryl's birthday which meant cupcakes and a drink at the Blythe Hill Tavern for those not running back to Glass Mill.

Thanks to Paul for leading the group safely to Seniors whilst I'm still waiting on the sign off from the physio! Next week is a brand new task so sign up!!

After missing last week as I was away Ms Y was pleased to see me - the chat with her is as important as the shopping so spent ages with her before heading out to the Co-Op. Today’s was a two fairy shop - cakes and washing up liquid and both were there.

Another heatwave, another tree watering session

Saturday 9th August

Written by Linda Gatley

With temperatures due to reach extreme highs once again this week it was time to make sure the new hedgerow saplings in Ladywell Fields continue getting enough water to thrive. I joined a team of volunteers hauling buckets from the River Ravensbourne and carrying them along the hedgerow - a good workout by the time we'd doused all 300 young trees.

Wheely Good Time!

Monday 4th August

Written by Kim

Rain or shine we gather at Glass Mill or in the case of this week, it was me accidentally hiding the listing but we still gathered!

In a nice change of pace, the whole group walked to the task and I have to say I did enjoy it.

We arrived at RUSS to the sound of gravel being moved and banging, at first we were unable to locate the source thinking it was on the roof but then we found Steve and the RUSS team who were giving us instructions for the task.

We had one group digging up the stones and another weeding the flower beds. We made such a difference in a short space of time!

Off to Mamma Dough for a post-group run social, Vic had been dreaming of that pizza since we arrived at Glass Mill!

We were also celebrating Matt's 100th good deed - congratulations Matt, it's a pleasure to have you along to the group runs and you always get stuck into the tasks! We look forward to the next 100!!
