The ivy was maybe taking a fence but we took offence to this. Our task today was to clear the ivy away from the fence around the church. Armed with a plethora of tools on a gloriously not rainy morning we set to work. A lot of chopping, pulling and chatting and time flew by. A lovely new location for a task and after a quick break for assorted hot drinks and biscuits we had a final chop. Done!

Congratulations to Melanie on her 400th parkrun at Ashton Court just before the task (and Darren on his 450th)

Until next time…

Friday consisted of collecting leaves for the compost. It was nice seeing everyone whilst doing good!

Not only did we get out on a Tuesday lunchtime, not only did we plant lovely spring bulbs to brighten up the borders and improve the world for pollinators, we also found a long-lost Bristol GoodGymmer and co-opted him to the Community Mission!

Welcome back, Fred, we hope there's something else on the listings that looks good to you!

A chilly morning greeted the GG crew. It's that leafy time of Year and racks were at the ready. With our 2 cow friends daisy and Haze mooing their support we went into rake mode, clearing a large path area in no time. We finished with a nice shot of us and the cows posteriors as they were camera shy. Seen it all before! Such divas. We then trotted off. Great job 👏

The sparks were flying high at Hannah More Primary School’s annual bonfire celebration on a warm evening with hundreds of pupils and their families enjoying the crafts, food, sparklers and the bonfire itself.

Butterflies were crafted with Helen, Jason and Freya helped get the hoot food to where it needed to be and Dave and Melanie stood guard at the bonfire having topped up the wood pile (and reserved some handy bits for Melanie’s DIY projects).

Lots of fun was had, top marks all round!
