4 crafty GG Yorkies got together to attend a Kinusaiga workshop: the japanese craft of "quilt painting". Our workshop host had some pre-prepared patterns to get us started, as well as some blank sheets of paper for the braver participants to create their own.

• Amy honed in on a maple leaf pattern to celebrate her Canadian heritage
• Jane celebrated her love of camping with a campsite scene
• Ellie was brave and designed her own
• Leanne took a pre-drawn landscape and edited it to incorporate a famous mountain that she recently climbed (but has barely mentioned since)

Our two hours flew by with most of us finishing our artwork. Amy had chosen a more intricate design, which she didnt quite finish, so she grabbed some takeaway fabric to finish it off later.

We stopped off at the shop to buy some craft supplies on the way to the pub so that Amy could finish her work over a celebratory pint.

November's clothes swap was busy but luckily we had a ridiculous amount of GGs out with 8 goodgymmers heloing ensure things went smoothly.

It was Gemma's second task after doing her first at Planet Food and she put in a sterling effort getting stuff onto hangers with Kirsty whilst the rest of us concentrated on getting the clothes out.

Excellent fun as always.

Three of us made it to the early morning set up and made sure things were done in good time before either heading to parkrun or more sensibly going for breakfast.

Tonight we started by celebrating Becca's 100th good deed! Amazing work, well done

After a quick warm up Ed headed off to York in Recovery's allotment with an elite group of 8... heres what they had to say

The Hob Moor allotment crew headed out to carry on the work we did last week with the guys from York in Recovery. We picked up Tristan on our way down and met up with taksowner Tracey at the allotments.

The tall chaps, Neil and Michael carried on with trimming the hedge that had been getting out of hand. Nick, Mitch and Tristan got stuck into turning over a raised bed. Carys and Sanjay helped to clear out a compost bay ready for everyone else's off cuts. And George and Ed helped to rat proof (hopefully!) the bottom of the shed by nailing some planks of wood across the bottom.

We made great progress on the various tasks and left enough time for a quick "hill" rep session on hob moor before jogging back to base

Meanwhile Leanne led out the rest of the pack to the bowling club where we did some weeding in preparation for tree planting. We were finished in plenty of time for some running drills and a slice of Lyn's delicious Victoria sponge or lemon cake! They do spoil us!

It was then back to base and a few went off to the pub for a refreshment.
