It was nice to be back at Maryon Park Community Garden on Saturday, always a Good Gym favourite. There were a couple of tasks to be done: a polytunnel and some beds needed to be emptied ahead of plantings, the sad act of taking down Christmas decorations was required, and finally there were a lot of mucky toys. Two of us got to work on the emptying. one to the tree and one to fitting a hose to start cleaning the toys. After a while it was just the toys to clean with one of us hosing and two of us scrubbing and all three of us getting wet (the Christmas tree packer cleverly managed to stay dry). After an hour the toys were looking good as new and after a little tidying it was time to take advantage of the generous spread that Tim and Edna always lay on for us.
