Autumn is the perfect time for a spring clean, isn’t it?

A beautiful rainbow on the way to the farm showed we may be in for sunshine this morning, although we were all in waterproofs just in case.

Connell saw us coming and asked if we could weed and tidy around the front and side of the reception building - weed love to! (See what I did there?)

Hoeing and sweeping and scooping and scraping, the transformation was great to see. And then coffee - perfect.

A lovely day greeted us at the farm. Today we had a task to move compost from the heap to an accessible area to be used to bring this haven into even more beauty. Adopting a conveyer wheel barrow system we made a wheely big indent into the pile. A final photo and off to the cafe to contemplate the day. 👏

Some of the residents overlooking Hebron Burial Ground will wake up this morning to find they are actually overlooking the Burial Ground and not just an overgrown hedge blocking out the daylight. Topiary challenge accepted, where the look we were going for was a "hedge".

Giby joined us for the first time and got stuck into the bramble bashing after joining the walking group - welcome!

A few blackberries were eaten before the spiky stalks joined the growing compost pile via the now-slick "rake and tarp" technique, a few graves were tripped over, a lot of puns proposed (I just wish i could remember them) and it was soon time to hide behind the (much lower) hedge for the final photo and the walkers and runners to race back to Queen Square/Workout and on to Las Iguanas for Eats, taking advantage of the Tortilla Tuesday offer and discussing the racism/merits of Speedy Gonzales - its always deep and meaningful at GoodGym Bristol!

A nice morning at the farm greeted the cheery goodgym folk. Of to the shed we went to pick up our tools and a dash to get a wheelbarrow. Today we cleared the willow leaves from the front and sides of the cafe area. Sweeping aside any Friday morning cobwebs are gut instinct led us to also clear the gutter of leaves. Thank you microbiome . After depositing the debris in the compost a final picture by Mr stick and off we went for a local coffee to slowly digest our way into the weekend
