Great shift at Borough food cooperative, mainly sorting carrots for tomorrows opening between, off, edible and good condition. Great to meet lots of other friendly volunteers but was not to meet Brenda who was working on other jobs. Borough Food Cooperative such a well run org, thanks to Clive for making it so welcoming and positive 😃😃

A team of at least a dozen goodgymers (I lost count) came to help out the lovely Janet and Eileen at Cranbook Community Food Garden. Thanks to the clocks going forward we were treated to some actual daylight for the first time in ages. Shout-out to John for reminding me to take some photos to prove that we weren't slacking off in Laura's absence.

We split off into mini groups, each with a dedicated task. Some performed quality control checks on folding tables, keeping the good ones and retiring the rest. Others sorted out sheds at the back, clearing out any rubbish. Litter and leaves (oh the leaves) were were picked/raked/bagged up. Special mention goes to the new rake sourced by Janet which was red and white - a homage to our Goodgym colours perhaps? Or most probably, just a rake.

By the end of the task, the impact of a hard-working group of Goodgymers was clear with Eileen showing her appreciation by bestowing a bar of chocolate on us (thanks Eileen!)

We parted ways (without a stretch this time) having all enjoyed an evening in fine company.

Shout outs to:

• Vidur and Jason on their first Goodgym task. A very warm welcome to you both!
• Ilana on her 50th task. Congratulations!

Until next time...

Delivered a bread roll and 3 X soup to Mrs N in the spring sunshine. Streets and parks busy with happy people, took a nice longer route on the way back. All was quiet and easy at Humdingers soup kitchen, and Mrs N pleased to get the delivery so a very nice mission all in all.

3x Soup and big loaf of bread delivered to Mrs N on a nice sunny day. All went to plan. Mrs N v grateful and very nice to see her after a few weeks off.
