Good Weed of The Day
6 GoodGymers made their way 7.0km to help the Emanuel Parish Church in Newham.

Heatwave edition yesterday, a day for vests and shorts (and thick knitted jumpers?). We jogged and caught up heading north on the high street. But only after we shared some good or bad spontaneous activities; last min ski trip, night's out gone wild, random decision to pin on a race number and solo travelling in the Canaries. All good examples it seems, spontaneity is good, case closed.
Hils and Kev greeted us at the church, as we wasted no time getting to work on the task. Weeding the beds, which we planted bulbs in not so long ago. Definitely needed, as the bulbs have grown nicely, but with a trim and purge of the weeds their imminent floral bloom will be much more impressive. Topics of discussion: only children, trends in amount of children, cost of living, policing methods, US election and composting - that's just what I overheard.
Pineapple, apple and biscuits were thrust upon us to finish, as we left a bit later than planned. Eugene valiantly ran home with his tropical fruit prize, bravo to that man.
Next week we get a traffic free jog down the Greenway, as we head over to Newham Hospital, a long term partner of ours that have recently reached out again. Sign up here.
Till next week,
B
