Went along to Trafford for another mission for Mrs L to clear a lot of ivy, overhanging branches, lots of moss, and clearing a bed 🌿🌱

With nifty secateurs, a sturdy broom, and a humble hoe, I made a serious dent in the ivy growth around the front gate and removed a lot of the overhanging branches that might encroach on passers-by or neighbours.

The moss came up quite easily but by that point, the garden waste bin was full to the brim so this was scattered on the cleared bed to break down.

Tough task after a busy morning. Will likely be asked back for a bigger tree to trim that will certainly need 2 GoodGymers next time 🌳

I volunteered at Alexandra Park run as a Park Walker . I was with another Park Walker. We walked and chatted . We also spoke to 2 woman who were park walking for the first time and needed lots of encouragement

Ran the 9ish km to help out Mrs L to clear her front garden. With the warm summer, the grass and weeds had taken over so needed a bit of GoodGym elbow grease to get it moved.

With a sturdy pair of gloves and a decent Flymo lawn mower, I managed to remove a lot of the long grass, remove a self seeded tree, and pull out any weeds that were starting to take root. 90 min of hard work certainly had the desired outcome, with the garden waste bin full to the brim.

Likely back again soon to help lop some branches from a tree at the back. More before & after pictures taken but too big to upload.

I volunteered at my local School Street with another volunteer. It was a lovely sunny day . There were several delivery vans but only a few cars with exemptions ! There were lots of children and parents . A little boy came along the road on his scooter at the end of the day with a big smile on his face as the road was all safe .

I volunteered at Alexandra Park run. It was a dull day but no rain so all good. I met my fellow Park Walker and we chatted about lots of things. There were other Park Walkers and of course 2 Tail Walkers . It was a fabulous morning

I volunteered again at my local School Street before my trip to Ibiza! It was quiet and raining . It’s the middle of the week so the children are doing well.
