On my run home from GG I noticed the new mini park by my house had a collection of unwanted litter so I did a swift pick and tidied it up!

We had all GoodGym modes of travel in action with a walking group, running group and cycling group heading to Admiral Jellicoe House for our task this evening.

Continuing our work from a weekend visit earlier in the month, we had even more bright colours to help liven up the dementia garden for residents.

Emmanuel received an introduction to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert from Jen and Harry, as well as career and financial advice from our very own Richard and Judy!

Dave was distracted by a local cricket match taking place on the field behind the garden, luckily Val got him back on track by handing over the GG Red paint brush.

In just under an hour we covered 11 fence panels. Top prize goes to Andy for his precision work and perfect timing! Well done, everyone, what a wonderful, colourful evening!

Today it was all about tidying up around the new spring growth, some high winds, and the inevitable sprinkling of the, still very beautiful, blossomming trees. We finished trimming perimeter grass around the rose beds, hoeing and redistributing earth. Weeding some more areas to keep on top of it, and sweeping pathways to make it look more attractive to Park visitors. We had an occasional light drizzle, but saw some sunshine to. The tine went really quickly and we were soon enjoying a cuppa and conversation at the end of the session. After lots of good fresh air and an uplifting of spirits, we were on our way.

The chairs were stacked, tables wiped and paperwork filed. All ready for the next event.

A very busy foodbank with less volunteers. Everyone cracked on and it worked!

Dave took on the strimming challenge in Miss J's garden, overcoming the problems of changing the strim cord, dealing with a short extension lead and avoiding the golf balls hidden in the undergrowth.

I pruned the shrubs and pulled out weeds by hand, and between us we created a big pile of green waste, and left Miss J's garden looking a lot tidier.
