It was lovely to be back at the allotments helping Home Slough with their therapy garden project (a wellbeing project that helps expectant and new mums with a safe space to get together and watch their seeds blossom)

As usual we met on Shaggy Calf Lane where we did the task brief and warm up. The warm up was a round circle where each participant offered the next exercise. We swiftly moved on after Savi suggested burpees!

On route to the allotments, Pam kindly back marked for us as we chatted and ran/walked our way to the location. We always have good chives at the allotments so we were looking forward to this task.

Sarah our task owner had asked us to tidy up plot 5. On arrival we worked out which one was plot 5 (the one we had last turned over maybe a year ago and was in dire straits again!), so although we had bean there done that we really didn’t mind spending the thyme to do it all over again.

The weeds were almost as tall as us but we cracked on with sheer effort and enthusiasm to get the job done! We always like to take it to the limit but tonight Savi was on a rock n roll (not only for the puns - thank you for that) but also for cutting back the hedge to create some space to move around the plot!

Tonight’s effort really was all about :-

We fought the lawn and the lawn won … some of these weeds are just staying alive staying alive ah ha ha staying alive!

Just take a leek at the before and after photos to see the difference we made!

When you want a job done… get the GoodGym team in as we always

stand by your plan!

After finishing the task in a record 45 minutes we had plenty of thyme for a fitness session based on agility!

Plenty of single leg hops, lateral shuffled, in/in/out/outs and lateral hops to keep us in slim trim shape!

Next week we are helping Slough Refugees with their garden space! Come and join us if you are free?
