4 intrepid Good Gymmers arrived super early at the farm ahead of the Spring Fair. Gemma, farm manager, set us to work on an assortment of tasks including gazebo assembly, outdoor furniture feng shui and plant identification. The latter was surprisingly complicated and I’m sure we all discovered new varieties of tomatoes! It was another great session at the farm and we look forward to returning to our usual Sunday slot in 2 weeks.

It was just Andy and I to set up the SE5 Forum market stall today. We knew what to do so we did it within 30 mins before Sophy came to man the stall.

Tonight we ran 3km from Old Spike to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We were met by Ian and were put to work clearing ivy away from the path. It looked a lot better but the time we were finished. As a reward we played a game of touch rugby after which was a lot of fun. Before we left Ian treated us to mini rolls to fuel us for our run back to Peckham.

On Saturday morning, James, David and I went to Kennington to help out at a friendly neighbourhood garden. Unfortunately their wasn't enough of it to do some the heavy listing work planned, so instead we helped with some pruning and gave the garden a general tidy. Within two hours, the garden already looked a lot better. So we agreed to call it a day and headed off to the rest of our bank holiday weekend plans. Meanwhile, we'll be back on a group run to do the lifting instead.

Wow, that wasn't 3 kg! More like 30!

Today I assisted Borough food cooperative with sorting, cutting and packing three crates of parsnips, this was so much easier than completing the 45th London marathon yesterday. Yep that's me with my medal. If I can't shout about it here with Goodgymers, where can I. Congratualtions to everyone who took part in the London marathon yesterday both runners and volunteers.
