A Friend in Need is a Friend in The Weeds

It was a nice morning for GoodGymers from Luton to be back at All Saints' Church, and this time Fr David had asked us to sort out an area at the side of the church that had become overgrown and unsightly. Gill and Musa arrived on the scene together and met new Goodgymer Anthony who was keen to get stuck in. Initially the task looked quite challenging but they soon got stuck in with the strimmers and loppers. Fearing that they might not achieve as much as they hoped, Gill put out a request on WhatsApp for help from GoodGym Friends. First Amir and Ashkan joined the battle against the weeds, and then before long several of their friends swelled the ranks until there were about 12 of us, including some other newbies, Shahin and Amirarsalan. It was good task, we soon had the weeds cut right back and started pruning some of the overgrown bushes. Anthony, Amir and Musa managed to unearth a good section of the path, and one or two of the newer guys discovered the delights of the British stinging nettle. We are looking forward to going back some time soon so that we can excavate the rest of the path and get the pile of cuttings taken to the tip.
