On Wednesday we were a merry trio on a trip to clean some staffroom cupboards at the lovely Brooklands Primary School. Julian and I enjoyed a mild 4km run over and Ivar walked from home, beating us there. After a while trying to get in the building with our ineffective fob, the cleaner thankfully spotted us and let us in and we got to work, clearing out the cupboards in the staff room which were full of all sorts of wonderful surprises including an instant rice packet which was crawling with flies... We thought the ick factor probably outweighed any nutritional value (or more accurately I screamed, put it in the biiiin!) It's fair to say the staff room needs a little TLC, all of the care going to the kids at this lovely school. We'll be back for more jobs here soon!

Next week we're at St Lukes and the following at Charlton Manor.

Until next time!

14 of us gathered at Glass Mill ready to plant the bulbs at Florence Green. Paul kindly lead the warm up and brought the group up to Florence Green whilst I tried to walk as fast as I could so not to delay getting stuck into the bulb planting.

Subo had organised the bulbs by tree and we were each assigned a pack of bulbs to plant with a variety of tools. Some more effective than others... A variety of bulbs were planted including daffodils and aliums.

We then moved onto our next task for the evening which was removing the stakes from the hedges that we planted a long while back, only if we thought they were strong enough to survive on their own without support!

We were soon done and dusted with that task as well and it was time to head back to Glass Mill.

Welcome Joshua to your first GoodGym session - hope you had a wonderful evening and we'll see you again soon!

We might be visiting Florence Green again before the year is out as they're expecting another delivery of bulbs from the council.

Next week we are heading to The Albany to tackle a list of jobs in the garden and of course the usual litter pick of the perimeter.
