Mo and I volunteered with the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods, helping with litter picking to keep the area clean and welcoming for visitors.
While there, I also took part in geo-caching around the park - fun teamwork as we explored the area.
This monthly litter pick is a rewarding way to get a dose of fresh air and a notch up a good step count, with a bunch of friendly locals. Why not join us at the next one?

Screenplay for a morning of GoodGym volunteering at the Community Hospice...
FADE IN
A quiet, peaceful garden. Birds chirp. A gentle breeze rustles leaves. Sun is shining.
A series of planters in front of the building, overlooked by windows from one of the wards. While the rest of the planters have plants and flowers, one is just full of soil.
A group of eight GoodGymers enters the frame, with Jason, Head Gardener. Chatting and laughing.
On their first ever task Debby and Chris are settling right in.
CLOSE UP
Gloved hands grabbing shovels.
PAN OUT
Rhythmic shovelling. Soil is emptied from the planter into big bags.
A white layer of polystyrene is revealed beneath the soil. Shovelling becomes careful, considered so as not to break its surface and release the white beads.
Careful hands lift the thick polystyrene sheets out and take it to the bins.
Scissors slice through a sheet of weed membrane, shaping it to line the planter.
The original soil is shovelled back into the planter.
TIME LAPSE SEQUENCE
A chain gang forms:
⢠One group shovels fresh soil into trugs
⢠Another ferries them in wheelbarrows
⢠Another tips soil into the planter
⢠Hands press down to compact the surface.
⢠The barrows return.
Repeated until the planter is completely filled.
Teamwork in action. Effort. Energy. Chatting. Laughter.
PAN OUT
The team steps back.
The planter is restored, renewed. Ready for new blooms.
CUT TO GROUP SHOT
Smiling faces. Job done.

What a buzzing morning at the Community Hospice today, and a warm welcome to Mo for her very first GG task!
Head Gardener Jason kicked things off by showing us the peonies we planted last month. Theyāre looking strong and healthy; hereās hoping for blooms later this year.
Our main mission was a satisfying round of āchop and dropā, cutting back tired growth to make way for fresh spring shoots. Instead of letting the trimmings break down where they fell, we raked and gathered them up and added them to the compost heap elsewhere in the garden.
We also tackled two stubborn rose bushes and a couple of thorny brambles. Deep roots and all, they didnāt give up easily, but neither did we!
With tools put away, flower beds ready to spring into new life and all of us feeling that warm glow that follows hard work in good company we wrapped up with a few team photos, attempting to capture the energy of the morning. Letās just say our synchronised jump shots need a little work⦠check out our social media feeds to see the results!
