Bravo brave GGers, battling with high winds, inside-out bags and bored or bemused pet dogs!
We each chose a beach or river to litter-pick during September, getting out in the fresh air to join the Marine Conservation Society's campaign to clean Britain's coasts and inland waters.
Well done for taking a moment from your month to make a small difference that adds up to a big impact.

Only way to handle a Tipner beach clean!

We welcomed David to his first GoodGym session this evening - great to have you along! He certainly got stuck in with our task, helping to take down some shelving.
Meanwhile, Lucy, Richard and I joined Clare at the new unit to help put up the new Repair Cafe / Library of Things signage. Cue lots of scrabbling up and down ladders, then an emergency jig-saw break when we realised the sign was a little too long!
Back at the old unit, the rest of the team made great progress filling holes, taking down shelving and sweeping the floors. We finished up by taking a few bits and pieces across the new unit. Sinéad has reassured us that, despite appearances in the photos, she was not in drink whilst using a power tool!
So much achieved in such a short space of time - amazing work, everyone!

Three of us enjoyed the late summer sunshine and stretched our legs while working at home! Vanessa made friends with lots of spiders while searching for litter in the bushes! One big bag of litter collected!

Unfortunately Mr D couldn't find the screws and bolts to attach the roof to his shed.
So we managed to place the roof on the shed and slot it onto its overlapping pieces. This measnt that all the items in the shed would stay dry. We then weighed it down so that it wont blow off.
Mr D said he will have a good look for the missing fittings or get some new ones before asking for us to come back and help.

I deadheaded the roses, to encourage them to continue flowering into autumn, and cleared the dandelions from the borders.
Mrs P was very pleased with the tidier garden.
(Forgot to take a photo, so I took a welly-pic when I got home!)
