After running to St Anne's, myself, Julie and Lexi were about to refuel at the local cafe; when we get a message from Zdeni saying she's inside, where are we... It turns out she's at a different cafe across the road! It was worth swapping anyway, you should see Zdeni's huge pancakes..

Anyway after being refreshed we thought we should probably go start some work. So off we go through the squelchy muddy woods to find Mary from the Friends of Brislington Brook who is very pleased to see us. They do a brilliant job at tidying up St Anne's Woods and Nightingale Valley Woods and it was a pleasure to help them.

They wanted help to bash/cut back the brambles to help widen the pathway on the slope. This would mean people would no longer have to slide down the muddy slope but could walk down on their feet.

Hannah soon joined us and did a cracking job with the slasher. Fi had unfortunately been taken a long way round on her bike but still arrived with a smile. Shortly after, I look up the hill and see Chris running down who took great enjoyment using the slasher! After talking and walking, bashing and slashing, cutting and throwing the brambles far away, Mary suddenly shouts, we must stop for the day. Looking up we could see everyone had done an amazing job.

I had a lovely morning which flew by so fast it was as if someone had pressed fast forward.

On the way out of the woods Super Mel runs in towards us! Mel had been to Wales for a parkrun and because she's so committed to goodgym, she had then run over to meet us but unfortunately she had been stuck behind a fence like a prisoner so she was unable to help us. (I really hope that wasn't my fault) Great effort though Super Mel, we love your spirit!

FoBB have their next working day on the 9th Feb to clear more of the brambles, hopefully we can join them again.
