Ealing Report written by StephDucat
Jacquie, Chris, Aislinn and Steph Ducat signed up to volunteer until 3pm as requested by Angela, but as the BBQ was still in full swing and all were enjoying the sun, they all decided to carry on and finish by clearing, cleaning and packing up. All the customers were leaving and the crew worked relentless to ensure all was packed and left clean. They enjoyed some snow cones too. Super troopers!!!

Ealing Report written by StephDucat
Summer BBQ at Ealing Soup Kitchen and the Goodgym Crew were in place to prep plats and serve hungry customers in the garden. Jacquie and Ash Aislinn were serving drinks and food outside in the lovely sun, whilst Chris and Steph Ducat were in the kitchen/foyer plating food ready to go out. Loads of choice today for the BBQ : meat and veggie burgers on buns, chicken or veggie sausages and some porc ones in hotdog rolls, chicken wings and thighs not to forget lamb or chicken skewers. Grilled pepper and onions, halloumi, grilled tomatoes and corn on the cob on the side. Had some pita bread for the skewers. Sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise and BBQ sauce were also provided to the hungry customers. All the food went and the kitchen crew were thanked by the clients - success for the whole team. Deserts followed with mixed fruit and ice cream : most appreciated in the hot day.

On a cloudy and refreshingly breezy Saturday morning, six GoodGymers and two new Horsenden volunteers met at the foot of Horsenden Hill to help with farm work. Among the GoodGymers, there were two new faces too: Jamie, who joined his third task, and Aislinn (Ash), the first-timer. Both made a grand first impression on the seasoned GoodGymers as open-minded and not scared of today's job: dealing with speciality woodchip! In Elsa's description of the task, there was a promise of a particular sensory profile: an aged barn floor with earthy ammonia undertones. We were in!
Elsa led us to one woodchip pile: crisp and woody, slightly dusty, but not offensive, with aromas of sawdust and dry bark. That sterile heap was to be loaded into wheelbarrows and dropped a few meters away at a larger pile of clean dry woodchip. Since nature abhors a vacuum, the empty space after eliminating that pile was going to be filled with experimental woodchip: the cow-resided kind, scraped diligently from the barnyard floor. It carried the aroma of decomposing hay funk with grassy, smoky and leathery notes. We were thrilled by its organic complexity, although it turned out to be much dustier and less rich than we had expected.
While Jamie, Ash, Gus, Steph Ducat and Kash were exploring the woodchip spectrum (and shovelling really hard for two hours!), Sevan found himself assisting Billy the Cat and one of the new volunteers in a highly precise task for very patient people: pulling messy bundles of chicken wire fencing from behind the barnyard and rolling them into neat, compact cylinders. Those who know Sevan will understand he was a suitable candidate for taking up slow-going, meticulous work. While the woodchip grind carried heavy physical and sensory load, the wire-rolling workout, accompanied by the calm, furry presence of Billy, was meant to build mental resilience.
With 12 pm on the dot and visible results achieved, the hardworking team clocked off to reward themselves with locally made pizza (including a new, limited veggie option), flatbreads, craft beer and speciality coffee. The well-deserved break was a perfect time to chat and get to know each other better.
Looking forward to another opportunity to join us for possibly the most rural experience in West London to have fun, work hard and try amazing baked goods afterwards? Meet us at Horsenden Farm in August!
