Hay Hoe - let's rake! It's off to the field we go...
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Chapman's pond in York.

5 GG Yorkie's arrived on a suprisingly dry and warm September evening to finish a previous raking mission. Laura and Liz were dropped off first at a compost pile and asked to fork it into a higher pile to encourage grass snakes to visit.
Michal, Zinnie and Amy arrived at the field we had previously raked and were shocked at how different it looked - who knew grass grew? We were missing Ed from the last mission who must have been too scared to return to the site of his previous wasp stings. Luckily, this time we knew not to disturb the wasp nest.
We began raking and chatting away, and shortly after Laura and Liz joined us and in no time we were all finished and mostly just chatting all things GoodGym, running and cake.
Home made delicious cake was dropped off by the task owner's friend and we all enjoyed a good natter in the sunshine.
The plans for the site are to grow an Oak Tree in the middle - so hopefully we'll be invited back to big the dig hole needed!
