The title of the report was kindly gifted by Emily.
Welcome Robert to your first Goodgym session. Definite commitment with traveling over 13 miles by public transport.
We were joined by some little helpers, who took a keen interest in the world of worms.
We definitely had to put some welly into this task.
Our tasks today was to dig some flower beds to make them wider. We had to be careful to not remove the beautiful French lavender or any of the wild rose bushes (which may have happened one or twice before).
The roar of laughter of being asked, "have you made any progress" with the first dig was warmly welcomed.
Lots of warmth on this mission (both literally and metaphorically). Some roars of laughter and some nicely received compliments.
Next Goodgym session is on Monday 29th May. Meet at Stepney bank stables at 18:15.
