Our new mascot is a web developer.
They're a true expert in ICT (insects - caterpillars - (and) - termites).
They have promised us they will spread the GoodGym word in apartments, flats, and houses across Camden. Apparently they can get into any building.
Whilst they are neither a vegan nor a vegetarian, they (reluctantly) respect others ways of life. Unless you are an insect, caterpillar, or termite.
We will call them Camden. Camden the Big-Fluffy-MaybeScary-Super-Spider.
Our rendezvous and meet-and-great with Camden (The Big Fluffy Spider) filled the final minutes of our time at the Caversham's Listening Space Garden, amidst a darkening and (orange) moon shaped sky.
We started in our usual haunt by the Crick this evening. Caitlin, Gosia, Jackie, Steve, and I started with chatter before attempting the count-to-25 warm-up game. We didn't quite make it to 25. This irked Camden (The Big Fluffy Spider). Every successful spider - apparently - can count to 25 (flies).
Our smaller group tracked a sun-bound evening route through Camden to the Caversham, where we were met by GG Camden regular, Sarah, and GG Camden newcomers, Alfie, Anton, and Nivia (you're very welcome, all!!)
Guided by the Caversham's brill social prescriber, Jackie, we got tucked into 40 minutes of scraping, pulling, and removing summer weeds. Heads down under our encroaching evening, we each got to know someone a little better.
Thank you, all, folks (including you, Camden) for this evening - you made a huge and visible difference to this space, which is used so much by the local community - thank you :)
Here's to next time!

Our wonderful, friendly, and green-fingered group of Liz, Sarah, and Steve chose GoodGym over semi-finals on Wednesday, as we made our way over to Kentish Town and a very special garden.
The Caversham Group Practice was our home for the evening, and we were welcomed by the lovely Jo and Sarah, who took us into their lush and peaceful Listening Space Garden.
Set within the Pratice's grounds, it's a gem of quiet and green, and we felt lucky to offer our Wednesday evening energies!!
Over 45 minutes we worked along the garden's pathways, stripping them of summer weeds and overgrowth, and we shared stories and caught up as we did.
It was a joy to meet Jo and Sarah, and we look forward to coming back soon!!
