One lovely morning and one wonderful group - 6.5 miles ticked off together in the sun :)

The wonderfully creative folks at Think & Do Camden have made something special happen...

...just south of Camden Town sits Bayham Place Estate - 4 blocks around a very wonderful green space...

...but their planters had been removed and discarded for fire safety...

...until the wonderful Hafiz and Nicole at Think & Do ran this week's Beeline Box project!

These special planters are recycled, super high quality, and fire safe - and they add colour and life to the estate's terraces. There's one for each flat, and local young people will be in charge of watering and maintenance. It's a gorgeous project and we were very happy to play our small part today!

Alex, Cherian, Emily, John, and Siobhan were on the herb run. They ferried pots (upon pots upon pots) of lavender, marjoram, oregano, mint, rosemary, and thyme up stairs (upon stairs upon stairs) and planted beeline box (upon box upon box!)

Thank you so much, everyone - what a lovely and sunny task!!

Nice Saturday run followed by helping a lovely gentleman with shopping and a good long chat!

"We’ll be running through Camden Town" – I said – "the sidewalks may be heaving" – I warned...

...but little did I know that Camden is trialling pedestrianisation!

And so our wonderful group sped through quiet (and) wide (and) spacious roads on our way to Belsize Community Library!

This lovely group – of Alex, Alison, John, Steve, and Will – got quickly to our evening tasks.

Alex, Alison, John, and Steve grabbed window cleaning spray, cloths, and (the magically named) squeegees – and they brought transparency to windows that were opaque with grime and dust.

At the same time, Will and Alex M hunted for litter and dust behind the sofas and on the shelves, removing everything with the help of every cleaner’s friend: the Henry Hoover

Thank you, everyone! You made a lovely difference! And you turned a normal evening into one filled with community!

In the final week before the closure of the community garden, we helped tidy up and pack away the plants and equipment

Just what are the requirements for a (city farm hosted) May Day Fayre?

We think - from past experience - these has to be sun-lounging goats, snack-hungry guinea pigs, strewn straw, well-used marquees, and home knitted bunting - and this wonderful group helped with the latter two yesterday!

Our brilliant crew - of Justine and Danny (on their first GoodGym good deeds - welcome!!), Anne, Matt, Michael, and Siobhan - turned Kentish Town City Farm's yard into a fayre-ready space.

Multiple marquees were checked for holes, built, and positioned - and lovely woolen bunting was draped and tied across it all - you'll see from the photos just how special it all looked :)

Thank you, everyone! See you soon!!
