A good session catching some rays and boosting our vitamin D at Saffron Acres. Today's task was clearing most of the old bramble patch.
The Goodgymmers were in their element with nature finding a sleeping hedgehog, old birds nest and both their bee hives swarmed and flew off while we were there.
Weldone everyone fantastic efforts as always, see you next time.

First session of the year back at an old fave Saffron Acres. 5 GoodGymmers with strength and determination moved the heap of compost getting ready for spring. Weldone everyone on a very cold morning, lots more sessions to come Saffron Acres.

4 fantastic Goodgymmers helped the Barley escape the weeds.
Last season we helped prepare the site to grow the Barley for beer, so very rewarding to see the growth and help it thrive saffronacres.
Weldone all enjoyed that now off to the GoodGym Shindig! Weekend of all things GoodGym.

7 Goodgymmers went to lend a hand at Saffron Acres Allotments. Today's task was to a move a tarpaulin cover so that the lawn mower could squeeze down the isle. Second task was to weed around the hazel trees freeing them from being choked by brambles and hawthorn.
Both tasks were deffinatly a case of more hands make for a lighter load, with a fantastic turnout of 7 we were well on our way, with the first task taking only 10 mins. We were trimming away brambles in no time we had 3 full wheel barrows of spikey brambles, Dave did the honours of walking the plank into the compost bin.
Dave also did a spot of bird sound spotting with his special app that tells you the birds it can hear in the area, among the birds were European Greenfinch, Carrion crow and Chiffchaff.
After the task we walked around Aylestone recreation park to check out their newish gym equipment
Mel and Dave off to London to support their son running the marathon for Bliss baby loss charity, Nick is joining the GoodGym support crew along with Ashley.
Fantastic work team, love the variety at Saffron Acres we never know what we will be up to next and nice to see blossom and bluebells this time, we'll be back again soon.
