I volunteered again this afternoon at my local School Street with a fellow volunteer. It was busier than yesterday and a brighter afternoon . There was lots of chat and laughter as the children walked home with their families .

I volunteered at my local school street with a fellow volunteer . It was a miserable day weather wise. It was quite quiet. There were lots of after school activity people let through the closure so I think it was busy in the schools. We monitored how many delivery vehicles and taxis that came through which were none. We see closed on Google maps

New mission in Stretford to help out Mrs R to keep her back garden tidy and weeding at the front and sides of the house.

Brand new mower worked well despite the overnight rain. Lots of brambles removed, weeds pulled, and borders tidied. There was a bit of weeding at the front and sides but this might be easier when drier to remove from between the paving.

Mrs R seemed pleased, and I was very thankful for a cup of tea and 10 minutes watching the snooker. Very sweet dog and cat too, making it a worthwhile task.

I volunteered as a Park Walker at Alexandra Park . I was joined by an elderly lady who walks with me every week and another lady who has attended for awhile due to a family bereavement. We chatted as we walked around the park on such a lovely day. We encouraged all of the runners as they past us . There were no other GoodGymers . This is my last Park run of 2925 due to being away for Christmas and working !! Here’s to more in 2026 . Hopefully fellow GoodGymers will attend

I volunteered with a fellow volunteer at my local school street this afternoon. It was a mild dry afternoon which was great as there were lots of families walking home from school. There was a collection of cars with a variety of permits but no taxis or delivery vehicles. I had to monitor the number of taxis and delivery vehicles as a trial is in place. This is the last week of school street before the Christmas holidays.

I volunteered at Alexandra Park run as a Park Walker. I had another walker join me as usual. She likes to walk and talk. We gave lots of encouragement to the runners. It was a bright cold day . It was a lovely way to start the weekend
