Lavender Toil
13 GoodGymers made their way 2.0km to help the Lavender House in Brighton.

Last night the Brighton GoodGymmers returned to the scene of one of our most satisfying and impressive weeding sessions ever, the aptly-named Lavender Court seniors residence in Kemp Town. How much of an impact we made this time is still to be confirmed, however, as we were trusted (perhaps naively) to work unsupervised in total darkness. But not to worry, at least 50% of the huge piles of vegetation we cleared were actual weeds and we’re pretty sure that the patio and flowerbeds looked a lot tidier by the time we left.
Any residents who happened to be looking out of the window were then treated to the sight of a squat-themed tabata fitness session – a lactic acid overdose that even had Tara crying out for mercy. After completing our smorgasbord of squats we all gratefully ran back to our starting point and most headed to the Bath Arms (shout out to Michelle for organising) to enjoy a catch-up and the unusual yet tasty pub classics.
