A chilly Monday November evening saw four GGRs put in a hole lot of effort in planting bulbs for Petersham Common.

Ken , assisted Manuela set about getting to the bottom of things by digging the hole that the bulbs would be planted into.

Soon they were joined by Adam and Sam , following their run from the Tap Tavern.

We successfully then budded together to plant around 300 bulbs, which will hopefully become un-bud-lievable in the spring time!

A little bit eerie, a mysterious warmth in the air, head torch lights bounding along pathways, ten heads poking about, breaking cobwebs and disappearing around corners and popping back out on the main road again... Such was our return trip to litter pick at Petersham Common. So much more had been chucked from cars in the interim that by the end, we had bulging bags that should never, ever have ended up in nature.

Eight GGers were tasked with providing a litter bit of help on Petersham Common on a somewhat chilly summer evening.
Both Jade and Sam were led by Adam from the Taps Tavern and ran to the task with Chris cycling on ahead.
We met the the task owner Ken who supplied us with the trusty litter pickers and bags and were soon joined by Monika, Lucy and Sam.
Finds included a hammer, which we were able to nail, while the usual suspects wrappers, cans and bottles were litter-ally very predicable.
Overall we were all very satisfied that we could offer a litter bit of help!

Six GoodGymers turned up to tackle the litter along the roads across Petersham Common with help from Sky (child) and Julia (friend of Petersham Common). We set about to tackle the mostly car thrown litter and soon found lots from pillows, bedside table, hubcaps, bottles and crisp packs galore. In less than an hour we had numerous bags full of litter (sadly there is lots more!). Well done to Sky for finding the hubcap and her enthusiasm was infections as she handed out the chocolate chip cookies at the end to all the GoodGymers! Thanks to all for coming out and making a difference!

A trip out of Richmond centre to Petersham Common to pick up the litter that is sadly discarded along the roadside.

One GoodGymer turned up to help Petersham Common Conservators bash in sweet chestnut fence posts to reinforce those for the aging surrounding fence. Twenty done in 2 hours. A good upper body workout.
