Pruning, Cutting Back and a Cuppa Tea ☕️

Monday 12th August

Written by Tim Dickson

The team arrived on a warm evening to one of our favourite place St. Michaels Church. Tonights mission involved pruning back bushes and trees, cutting back rose bushes (ouch) and laying mulch to nearly found world war one graves. All this hard work was finished off with a well deserved cuppa and chocolate biscuit. This evening we also welcomed Anne on her first Goodgym session, we hope you loved it and we'll see you on the next one.

(P)Laying our Respects 🙏

Monday 10th June

Written by Tim Dickson

What a brilliant evening at St.Michaels. Our mission was to make and lay a path to a WW1 soldiers grave.

The grave was rescued from years of bush and bramble growth. Once chopped back we revealed this beautiful grave stone so the team got together to make a path route so many more people to see and pay their respects.

Its always great when a mission shows all the hard work done, this mission was definitely one of those. Hope to see you guys at the next mission.

Cow Parsley Needs Re Mooooooving 🙌🏻

Monday 13th May

Written by Tim Dickson

With the lovely warm weather accompanied with the horrible wet weather Cow Parsley in growing like wild fire. Our team mission last night was to cut it back so we could get access the the churches gardens and graves.

Cow parsley is a hollow-stemmed, tall plant that grows rapidly in the summer before dying back. It likes shady habitats in particular, and can be found decorating woodland edges, roadside verges and hedgerows with masses of frothy, white flowers. These flower umbels (umbrella-like clusters) appear from May until June.

Cow Parsley is a member of the carrot family and can indeed be used for consumption but be very careful you don't mistake it for Hemlock which is very poisonous. Interesting fact:-

Hemlock was the plant that was given to the famous Greek philosopher, Socrates, at his execution

Thanks guys for all the hard work put in yesterday, as always you were amazing. See you at the next mission 🙌🏻
