Fabulous turnout at the Old English Gardens this morning. Todays task involved weeding around the trees, a little bit digging out, then adding a touch of mulch to finish...........

With the team working full on we covered around six trees, i was so proud to be involved with the worked carried out, well done team.

There's not much more to say except checkout the photos, they say everything about todays mission. See you soon team. Tim

It was good to see some familiar faces this morning following lockdown, with Matt, Emanuel and Gemma making a welcome return to the Goodgym mission team. They joined 10 other Goodgymers in the latest effort to clean up Bexley’s green spaces. After two weeks at Hall Place we returned to Danson Park. It may have been we were a bit earlier but Danson seemed a lot tidier than when we were last there but we still managed to collect a fair amount of bottle tops, gas bottles and cigarette butts. A number of park users thanked us for efforts including a woo woo from Jan Lake. For parkrun participants she’s the enthusiastic volunteer at the turn before the shale path.

Glorious evening in Bexley tonight. Tonight we were heading out to our friends at The Danson Youth Centre where we've got a lot of gardening work to get done. We had two groups heading there this evening, runners and walkers. The runners set off first. They headed out to do a longer loop whilst the walkers set off on a smaller loop. My idea was that we would hopefully meet up towards the end of the run / walk and arrive at the centre together. Well, let me give myself a pat on the back, it worked out just right...........

WELL LET ME GIVE MYSELF A PAT ON THE BACK, IT WORKED OUT JUST RIGHT

With lots to do on arrival we split into two teams again, one group for the front gardens and a group to the back gardens. Oh, we also had an apple tree that needed trimming. I didn't let them trim it back to much though as last year i got some great apples for apple crumble from that tree. With everyone getting stuck in, within 45 minutes the team had swept, pruned, weeded and turned over soil. Yep we are pretty amazing.

With time now running out it was time to start packing up. With so much more still to do we re booked with Joy for a few weeks time.
