A really sunny September morning at Mrs J's garden.
There were some more things to address in the corner of the back garden, a nice but uneven space that Mrs J cannot access, there's a lot of Ivy overgrown on the ground, which has choked out the rest of the garden space, so I spend a large part of the time clearing that up. Finally trimming back the lavender so the dead heads were gone for the winter.
Towards the end of the task I had a nice visit from a Robin, who was hanging out until the end of the task.

At GoodGym we are celebrating This Girl Can's Move10 campaign - keeping things simple. 10 minutes of movement, 10 times over a month, in whatever way works for you.
"We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever."
It was our last Monday at Mousehold of the year, just before it gets too dark - but don't worry we're heading back for a few Saturday sessions if you missed out!
Always a favourite task - with 19 GoodGymers attending, Will lead us all to the area needing work. Pulling braken to allow other plant species to grow, and carrying piles across the heath.
We spread out into 3 areas, it was a very social evening and rewarding to see how much of difference it made!
Shout outs to Gemma, Rachel and Lizzie all completing their first Good Deed!
Will kindly treated us to some tasty snacks, which was a lovely way to finish the evening as the night drew in.
Dig out those headtorches for next week folks!
