It was harvest time at Moulsecoomb Primary school: School governor Warren met us to help with the school's orchard which is used to teach children about growing food as well as provide a healthy snack at break times.
Welcome to James who joined us for the first time this week, and welcome back to James who joined us for the very first time last week: James^2 looked after composting duties, turning the heap over and adding to it from the weeding taking place amongst the raspberries.
Welcome also to Rosa who joined us from Newham Goodgym, always great to meet other Goodgymers! Rosa, Emma and Michael ploughed through the weeding while David, Rosemary and Frannie handled the plums...
This left Roy, Michelle and Juliet clearing out a very dry pond (and rumour has it a dead squirrel?!) Much was achieved in our 45 minute session in the evening sunshine and a general good feeling that this Goodgymer has been missing recently.
Warren is looking to have us back soon with such a lot of school grounds to cover.

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

This week we returned to Somerset Point's residents garden, in need of some TLC after our enforced break. Our main task was do some of the harder work the residents can't and prep the whole garden ready for a full makeover! We welcomed James to his first Goodym run and he soon got stuck in with Rosemary to the tough job of preparing a planting bed and forming a new border ready for some shrubs and flowers.
Amro and Sherman also put in some hard work in the sun by digging over a patch of tough dry ground to create a new planting border . Rosie got stuck into the weeding and clearing rubbish, whilst I was let loose with the strimmer to do some damage to the overgrown grass! (A lot of fun!)
We stopped halfway through for some drinks provided by our host and they made some promises of a stronger drink if we come back again!
After the drinks break we finished off clearing the garden and digging the beds to leave it ready for the residents to begin planting and beautifying later. Afterwards a few of us went down to the beach to watch the sunset and for a well deserved cool down!
