To quote Marta "Thanks everyone! Very happy to have had 900 opportunities to spend time with amazing people like you guys!! ❤️". Well we're more than happy to share you with Greenwich and to celebrate the amazing achievement of 900 good deeds! You might have to wait another 100 good deeds for a tshirt and with your current rate of good deeds, we'll need to get planning for that one soon.

The task for the evening was to Alexander Care Home in Ladywell to continue tackling the weeds in the garden. We made a good dent in the flower beds last time and now this time we were focusing on the gaps in the pacing stones and the alkinet and brambles at the back of the garden.

The group then took a leisurely walk to keep me company on the short journey to Mamma Dough. It was good to chat about Charlotte Church, Marta staring in a gameshow, Saturday morning TV and the Pope visiting Charlton.

Thanks to Paul for getting the group to the task whilst I jumped on the bus. Next week is a double task so we need all hands on deck to tackle weeds at both Florence Green and Luxmore Garden.

It was time for one of our regular trips to The Albany! Thanks to Paul for leading the run as I got the bus to as close to the task as possible. It turned out to be perfect timing and we all arrived at The Albany within a minute of each other!

The task for this evening was the usual litter picking as the winds blows in the litter from the surrounding streets and then also a bit of weeding between the paving stones.

The unusual task for the evening was if we saw a snail then we needed to pick it up and put it in a bucket and then the snails would be relocated away from the vegetable plants.

We had a couple of marathons to celebrate so we headed for a post group run social to refuel and catch up with friends!

The last time we did this task it was dark and even though we shifted a whole pile of woodchip, there were still gaps and the saplings need as much mulch as possible to ensure they have the best start and grow big and strong!

Most of the group were assembled at Glass Mill (Welcome John to your first Lewisham GoodGym session) and a Steve and Linda were meeting us at Ladywell Fields.

A short run tonight (I save the long ones for post-marathon..) and before we knew it we were at Ladywell Fields and ready to get stuck in.

We soon got into a rhythm of moving the wheelbarrows and buckets along the row of saplings. Ensuring each sapling has 1m radius of woodchip and a depth of up to 5cm. We were missing one person though, Steve was lost in Ladywell Fields, 600+ good deeds and you'd think he'd know our presence a mile off! Once Steve found us, he got started on some speedy shoveling of the woodchip into the wheelbarrows and buckets. What was good about Steve not being able to find us was that it shows just how many projects we've been involved in in Ladywell Fields (Tiny Forest, The Orachard...).

We powered through the rest of the woodchip and made sure all the saplings were protected - task well done team!

There was just time for a quick group photo and for Lindsay to return a broom that was nearly coming back to Glass Mill with us!

Next week we have a brand new task clearing the garden to make it more beautiful for residents.
