It was lovely to catch up socially and to give Rob a friendly send-off as he moves to Bedfordshire.

Come back to see us soon Rob!

Big thank you to the Children's Allotment for lending us their space so we could stay dry.

My final Oxford Goodgym and OMA task!! And we packed our usual parcels, restocked and generally had fun! Thanks team!

On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning we packed food parcels for Oxford Mutual Aid. A very warm welcome to Emanuele and Tra who both completed their first tasks with GoodGym! Hooray!

Six goodgymers boldly applied their SPF, wore appropriate clothing, and journied to Florence Park to help Naturescape with the next part of their garden project.

The original invitation was for pond digging but the pond space needs more fundraising before it can be built. Instead we were tasked with helping to lay the sensory path which meanders through the garden.

The path is made up of individual tyres, dug into the earth and then filled with soil and topped with a variety of materials; smooth pebbles, woodchip, sandy grit and aromatic plants.

Digging homes for the tyres was sweaty work. They all need to be level to ensure an even, safe path. Holes were dug, spirit levels employed, little bits of soil added or taken away here and there.

****We all left craving ice-cream and cold showers but it was a wonderful task and so fantastic to see the progress of this exciting space.

Congratulations to Samantha for her 50th good deed. Your black t-shirt awaits!
