Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)
Fantastic sunshine greeted 11 GoodGymmers who were relieved it had stopped raining. It was great to meet Alice, visiting us from London Town and Josh joining for his very first GoodGym task having been attracted to the red t-shirt gang at a local event. Rasa and Matty also joined us for a second time and our cemetery gardens specialist Ieva was back, too. Great to see you all!
Brunswick Cemetery was looking glorious in the evening sun and the recent heat and rain have helped everything grow fast - especially the weeds! reclaiming the paths from the greenery was the main plan, catching as many of the weeds before they scatter their seeds and create next year's weeding.
Lots of chatter and plant identification (guesswork), the park was a-buzz with GoodGymmers and insects getting their fix. Bag after bag of green waste was piled up for the Council to collect along with armfuls of bigger/spikier weeds.
It was soon time for the random pointing end-of-task photo as we left the park even more beautiful than weed (see what I did there?) found it.
Back to Workout to sit by the water with a pot of tea and taste-testing the chocolate protein cakes, or chocolate not-do-much protein cakes - great evening everyone.

Ah, the joy of not meltingly hot nor drenchingly wet weather. Perfect for a spit of checking out front doors and their letterboxes to spread the word about home insulation information available at drop-in events at St Werburghs Community Centre.
Rasa and Matty (Matt/Matthew) picked a great, chatty session for their first GoodGym task and we hope to see them again soon.
Exploring bits of Bristol we've never seen before is always an added benefit of leafleting and the workout of steps and bending to ridiculously low letterboxes leads to hugely increased respect for our post people. And cats. The opportunity to stroke random cats.
The runners headed to the Centre to collect their leaflets and pick off some of the terraced streets i St Werburghs, the walkers made use of the leaflets Melanie had picked up on Monday for the first delivery session with Richard and popped to Montpelier.
Many leaflets left at residents' residences, it was off to the soon-to-close Raj on King Street for a lovely, very funny if very slow GG Eats with a stand-up robotic-specialist waiter, big spoons, vegan paneer, nutty boiled rice and many other highlights.
More GoodGymming next week?
