Wow, what a turn out! It was great to see so many GoodGymers out tonight - thank you everyone for coming.
We welcomed Dani from GoodGym Lewisham for a spot of GG Tourism whilst he is house-sitting locally, and met Lucifer for his first ever session - head to their profiles to give them a cheer!
Tom had plenty of tasks for us tonight, the main job being spreading woodchip over the children's play area and around the pond. With lots of lifting and shifting, and plenty of raking, many hands made light work of the task.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team got to work weeding and pruning on the side path of the orchard. We temporarily lost David to a large bush where he was extracting a bramble. Sinéad's trimming of the rosemary bush left a pleasant aroma for the rest of the evening. The discovery of Fred the Frog led to a lot of distraction, and even a photoshoot, courtesy of Jane.
We enjoyed and evening of education, with history lessons with Jim, spanish with Dani and nature studies with Sinead. Other conversation topics includes Sandi Toksvig, Mastermind and David the Gnome.
We ended the session with picking apples and grapes, ready for our lunchboxes for the rest of the week.

Today we welcomed Fran to her 1st Victoria Park session. We were all tasked with weeding and clearing the beds and path between the Portsea and McKenzie Gates. Pushing back the grasses, leaves and weeds encroaching the pathway - clearing lots of sticky weed amongst the plants. We were sheltered from the wind and the rain held off fortunately. After filling quite a few buckets, we were able to sit in the sun with refreshments after finishing the session. The roses are starting to bloom and smell lovely. Plus the two new baby long-eared bunnies have arrived and are really cute if you're passing.

Fran completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Fran was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Jane, Fran and I had a quick lunchtime blitz of litter in Milton Park where we found the usual suspects of wrappers bottles and cans, we also dislodged many a bottle and can and plastic bag in the bushes, and of course some clothing items (a glove and a sock!). One big bag collected and reported to Colas, a lunchtime well spent!
