A small but perfectly-formed crack team of 5 Bristol GoodGymmers ran or walked to Brunswick Cemetery to meet up with Jo and Di of the friends group for some night-time spiral path finding.

We've been working more in the centre of the cemetery this summer and haven't spent much time on the spiral that has become weedy again so it was good to rediscover the gravel and crisp-ness of the edges.

Richard was, as ever, a gravel-finding master leaving the rest of us in his grass-loosened wake whilst Jason made good the top circle gravel. Vaguely Northern Darren specialised in emptying our smaller bags into the dumpy sack and Caroline worked down-stream on the spiral regaling us with stories of trying to get her chickens to help "mow" moss.

Lots of grass and weed roots plus soil later, the dumpy sack was heavy i deed, needing 4 of us to drag it to the edge of the cemetery and all having had a workout under the super moon!

Back to Queen Square as a bigger walking group, plenty more chat with a 90s soundtrack back at Club Haus before heading for home and Darren having his steak which was, of course, best before tomorrow, the 13th.

See you next week!

The sun shone as we chiselled away at some tough ground to plant some wildflower poodles after scattering exotic 30-species seeds around our appointed flag.

The bees and other pollinators will love us and we had biscuits - win-win!

Not only did we get out on a Tuesday lunchtime, not only did we plant lovely spring bulbs to brighten up the borders and improve the world for pollinators, we also found a long-lost Bristol GoodGymmer and co-opted him to the Community Mission!

Welcome back, Fred, we hope there's something else on the listings that looks good to you!

Lots of time clearing weeds (again) including some problem brambles and a chunky sycamore before hiding lots of bulbs to bring joy in the spring.

A chilly morning greeted the GG crew. It's that leafy time of Year and racks were at the ready. With our 2 cow friends daisy and Haze mooing their support we went into rake mode, clearing a large path area in no time. We finished with a nice shot of us and the cows posteriors as they were camera shy. Seen it all before! Such divas. We then trotted off. Great job 👏

The sparks were flying high at Hannah More Primary School’s annual bonfire celebration on a warm evening with hundreds of pupils and their families enjoying the crafts, food, sparklers and the bonfire itself.

Butterflies were crafted with Helen, Jason and Freya helped get the hoot food to where it needed to be and Dave and Melanie stood guard at the bonfire having topped up the wood pile (and reserved some handy bits for Melanie’s DIY projects).

Lots of fun was had, top marks all round!
