Literally a spot! Ms. M's garden is severely overgrown and she requested us to tackle the rogue blackberry bushes by the fence. We chose the spot for maximum impact - where it was starting to go over to the neighbour's side.

We took off as much of the prickly branches as we could but it'll certainly take repeat visits just to get it under control.

It certainly was a gorgeous sunny morning to be out in the garden. Chatty Ms. M and her 3 little dogs were happy* with the company as well.

*debatable. The oldest one was certainly wary but didn't want to be left out of new human sighting!

Two GoodGymers helped out Ms. S with her prescription medicines as she is unable to go to the pharmacy due to medical reasons.

Quick stop at the pharmacy and then a drop-off to a grateful Ms. S ✅

Our latest visit to help the Green Skills Library had a bit of everything, from sanding and painting jobs to making table decorations, fueled by a tub of Quality Street and supported by a very excited labrador. The library is looking fabulous and we're all looking forward to seeing it open once again. Thanks to everyone who joined!

Six GoodGymers went to the new premises of the Green Skills Library where we were welcomed by the task owner. After quick introductions, she outlined the varied jobs for the evening: - Painting - Brooming the carpentry area - Kneeling on the floor and scraping off bits of gum and paint!

I'm always surprised at how quickly GoodGymers divvy up work without being told who should do what. So off went: - Mike to the carpentry area - Anne-Laure and Diya to paint the back cupboards - Amy to paint an old stool - Juli and Jess on the floor, scraper in hand

And hour flew by, and wonderful things were accomplished, with Amy also having joined the Kneelers and Scrapers. Another fun evening for the books!
