... Obviously we're talking about paintbrushes!

First off, congratulations to Val and Judy for managing to successfully navigate their way to the task!

Val also brought us top tips for bench painting from her visits to help at the Dog Kennels. We followed her instructions and were able to sand, paint and flip the benches without too much trouble. Dave may be auditioning for Annie soon with all of his new paint freckles.

With five paintbrushes and six GoodGymers, I was able to transform into a human lamp-post, using our two flood lights whilst stood on a chair. When it felt like my arms were going to fall off, Judy kindly took on the role.

This role then extended to Quality Control, checking we hadn't missed any bits. At one point, Andy was instructed to "get in there with his big brush" - ooh, matron!

Well done to Vanessa for powering through our run back - hopefully the parking space gods are shining on you when you get home!

We had a bumper-load of GoodGymers for our Group Run tonight, including Leah who was visiting from GoodGym Nottingham! She has proven herself as a Bramble Wizard, managing to pull out a significant number with her bare hands!

In their infinite wisdom, Wilson came prepared with secateurs, which were in demand throughout our task!

We also got to channel our inner Tony Robinson whilst undertaking an excavation of an incredibly deep bramble root - the efforts of five GoodGymers eventually got it near enough out.

The flower beds looked so much neater after our efforts, ready to be planted as a sensory garden soon. Great job everyone!
