Our GoodGym Camden group's work was a touch more visible last night.

This wonderful group - of Emilie, Jackie, John, Rose, Susannah (our brilliant host) and Steve - turned up, ready for work, at Camden's Cecil Sharp House.

Nestled in a grand building in Camden Town, it's a haven for folk music. And the secret has clearly filtered into the community. We started our work amidst a steady stream of people arriving for the evening performance.

There were some marked differences between us. The most marked being:

  • It's apparent that folk music lovers don't wear shorts on February evenings (while GoodGym lovers often do)

Well, um, that really was the only difference I could discern.

Anyway! Our work!

This group swept, weeded, pruned, and tidied last night. And the results, for 7 folks happily chatting away, were remarkable. The pathways were transformed, the remaining leaves were bagged, and the flower beds' weeds were comprehensively pulled, and a great pile of bags captured the natural remnants of our work.

Thank you, everyone! We'll be back in March to sow summer seeds!
