We had a turn out of 27 last night, which was very impressive given England were busy playing football in the World Cup. The whole night was set to the OOOHs and AHHHHHs of pub gardens, shops, houses and restaurants, all glued to the screens.

Not us though. Brixton Windmill gardens are soon to receive a mystery shopper to judge them on their Green Flag status. One group took a nice short, quiet route to the Windmill, whilst John H led a group on a longer run around Brockwell park. On arrival, there were lots of jobs to do. We needed to use the hoes to neaten up all of the edging on the paths. We also had to pull out weeds from the edges of the playground too. George C went off to water the plants and some people did some handy litter picking. After 40 minutes of hard work, it was all looking so much better. Good luck Brixton Windmill, we hope you get your award!

London borough visitor Chi ran a short but horrific abs session involving 3 minutes of pain and discomfort. My abs will thank him in the end. Then Jess ran a much calmer yoga session. Once we were all stretched out we ran slowly back to base down an unusually quiet Brixton hill. After some stretches we got back home in time for penalties, which is really the only good bit of football. Hooray!

WOWEEE! The sun was shining and Lambeth was out in force as 41 excellent people came along to finish three tasks with aplomb.

Team 1 went with Beth to Loughborough Junction A group of 11 of us made the short jog down to the Remakery in Loughborough Junction. Once we’d figured out how to get in (the ‘out the back’ post-it on the door proving more confusing than it should have done) we were welcomed in and told a bit about all the wonderful things that go on there - there’s a co-working, word-working, and upholstery space for members to use and even a collection of bikes to be fixed up. Our task for the evening was to empty a couple of metal cupboards of paint tins, move the cupboards and restock them. The human chain took a while to get going but once it did we were passing paint tins between each other like a bunch of pros. A wicker chair and a few other items were also moved to a garage and with that we had a quick tour and set off back to Papa’s.

Team 2 went with Issy to a doctor's surgery on Clapham High Street We went to help the GP Food Coop, who plant food and flowers in GP surgeries and hospitals across Lambeth. There were three massive planters full of soil, that weren't actually being used. We had to dig all of the soil out and then the planters are going to get moved to a Stockwell surgery, where we will fill them back up again and grow things!

Team 3 went with Katie to Clapham Common We were back at our lovely task of planting wildflowers on the common. This week it was a very relaxed affair, as the main aim was to water all the plants really well and pull out the grassy edges that are threatening to take over the beds again. We managed this just fine and then did some heel raises to strengthen our ankles before heading back to base.

It was our weekly social night, so we headed off to the Duke of Edinburgh for a drink in the big beer garden.

Nice work Lambeth!

Wowee! What a night. Many amazing runners came along last night and boy did we need them. We had three tasks to complete and they weren't going to do it themselves. After a nice warm up from Tom Benson we split into three groups.

JKB led the small but perfectly formed team a short distance to a GP surgery, where some planters needed moving for the GP Food Coop. Completed in record time, the team then joined Katie's group at nearby Larkhall Park.

The Friends of Larkhall Park had a large area of overgrown thistles that needed removing, whilst leaving the nice decorative grasses in place. We identified those to take and those to leave with the skill and precision we are famous for. The team also did some nice sprint work as well, which involved dodging dogs and a danger log. It all happens in Lambeth.

George C led the final group up to Clapham Common where we planted some wildflowers (is that an oxymoron?). The small plants looked a little bit like tufts of grass but fingers crossed they will actually turn into lovely flowers, otherwise it makes a mockery of the hard work we have been doing removing the original grass. Hmmm....

Back at base we did some nice stretches and everyone went home more exercised and happier than when they arrived. EXCELLENT!

It was a lovely warm April evening - hooray! SO MANY people turned up, including a healthy dose of lovely new runners. This was ideal as there was lots to do.

A smaller group ran 1 mile down Brixton road, led by Issy and John, to help Ameena at Holland Town Estate. The playground park area is always in need of some de-weeding and pruning and GoodGym are the ones to do it!

The rest of us headed over to Clapham Common to continue our creation of the wildflower meadow. We ran in two groups so as not to cause too much of a commotion en route. Katie led a team along Clapham High Street and George took his lot via Acre Lane. On arrival, there was lots to do! Some people set about watering the flowers already planted ahead of the expected hot weather, whilst the rest took up spades and forks to remove the next strip of turf and turn the soil over once done. We had wheelbarrow runners and people waiting at the other end to unload the turf. It was a well oiled machine and everyone got really stuck in.

Both tasks were a great workout for arms and core and so we did lots of nice stretches when we got back and then headed off to the pub on our monthly social.

Well done Lambeth!
