Graveyard workers really digging their jobs!

The nights are really drawing in now and we are firmly in the needing head torch territory but that didn't stop 12 of us coming out to give the garden at St. Mary's Church a really good trim!
We were joined by one new runner last night, big welcome to Anna and thank you to Steph for bringing her along. Speaking of Steph she's edging ever closer to her 50th good deed, last night was number 45. Only 5 to go until she gets her hands on that black tee!
Weaving round Walpole
Making use of the parks while we still can we started by weaving our way around Walpole in file sprint formation arriving at the church to meet Vicar Steve who was ready with an array of tasks for us to tackle. Going into the Autumn it was all about getting as much cleared as possible, pulling ivy off of the stones and trees, chopping down all the overgrowth and pulling up the unwanted ash trees which have seeded all around the gardens.
With the light fading and a few head torches between us we got cracking and hacking!
Surrounded up grave stones, the sound of screeching foxes and lots of spiders it felt a little spooky but GoodGymers are a hardy bunch and we were undeterred and got the job done! Steve was so grateful of our help and we will organising a trip back very soon so watch this space!
Just a short jog back up to the Broadway with a little stop off on Ealing Green for a fitness session with resistance bands and we were done for the evening.
We finished up by embarrassing Chris with a nice loud rendition of Happy Birthday before heading to the pub to celebrate with him, have a good one Chris!
