A dead-icated group of nine left Glassmill and went over a scary hill and were joined by four more at Seniors where our task was to make Stanstead Lodge Halloween ready!

A cauldron of bats, a coven of witches, a cluster of spiders, a clutter of spiders’ webs and a fraid of ghosts were fixed to walls, windows and ceilings. A terror-ific time was had by all.

We celebrated Jenny’s 500th GoodGym good deed, a real hallow-queen, such an important part of our community.

Afterwards, Vic was an absolute star, making sure that Diane from Seniors locked up safely and got to her bus stop.

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.
