This wonderful group of Andy, Cherian, and Max (and me) spent our morning: moving leaves > digging compost > finding avocado skins > bagging compost > discovering rusty bolts > learning how to detangle chicken wire > bashing sticks into ground > and (after it all) admiring our new wired pen for mulching leaves!

Thank you, all, for your work and fun this morning - you made a meaningful and lasting difference, and I know this pen will be much enjoyed and used over the coming years!

Thank you! And to next time!

At the same time Kemi Badenoch faced Kier Starmer in her first Prime Minister's Questions, there was no Question that it was Maxim's first GoodGym task. Being between jobs, he found time to make his way over from Somers Town to help us with the perennial autumn task: leaf sweeping!

The paths in Elm Village community garden look beautiful with their covering of leaves, but they can't be allowed to mulch. Instead, they make good compost material! Using a rake, a broom, and leaf grabbers, and making many trips to the composter, we completely cleared the path of the tree's debris.

Except, as we left, we thought we'd missed a couple. No - they were new falls! We might have more of this to do by next week...
