A funny thing happened on the way to the Foodbox

Hounslow Report written by Alan Armstrong

Running to my mission in Brentford, I spotted a familiar figure running ahead of me across the road. Bright red T-shirt, backpack, purple-ish hair under a white cap. Unmistakably one of the GoodGym Ealing elite. Let's call her "X".

"X" I shouted - five times, volume increasing, before she finally stopped and turned to face me.

It wasn't her. And an unfamiliar logo on the front of the red T-shirt. A smile and a wave before she turned and headed off on her way indicated that the mystery woman was fortunately unperturbed by the mistaken attention. Or perhaps I have my own doppelgänger.

A few minutes down the road, I bumped into a regular GoodGym Ealing beneficiary, a run director from junior parkrun. "Oh, another GoodGymer," she said. "I've just seen X running past". So I was not alone in my confusion.

At the Foodbox, a very satisfying hour clearing away leaves from the grounds outside. Managed to fill 6 bags despite the blustery conditions, making a definite improvement and leaving the place much tidier.

Imagine if X of Ealing elite was cloned, the good that could be done 😇

Nice idea, a positive vision for the future of humanity 😆

Ealing elites are actually being cloned because the old specimens inevitably wear out. They get decommissioned and made into feed for the new generation. This is the secret 🤫

Doo-ing good

Ealing Report written by Alan Armstrong

“You look different!” said Mr G when I arrived for my first visit to him in several weeks. Quickly establishing that a slight increase in facial hair wasn’t the reason, we realised that it was my new red GoodGym jacket that had attracted his attention. I twirled round to display it in full which prompted him to come up with a cheeky misreading of the slogan on the back, much to his amusement.

Humour aside, Mr G remains extremely grateful for his regular GoodGym shopping visit. His set of labels this week contained all his classic items but slightly disappointingly, none of the new products he’s reportedly been tempted with in recent visits. This meant I needed just a quick tour of the familiar supermarket aisles before heading back to drop off the shopping and have another chat.

Lop til you drop

Hounslow Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

We had perfect conditions for our return visit to Chiswick House last night, which was good news as we had a huge job to do!

The carriageway into the grounds is lined with beautiful plane trees. Fun fact - did you know London Planes can grow to 35 metres and live for several hundred years? Which means they need a bit of care and attention.

We were met with Chris, Chiswick House's gardener, who explained the job was to cut away the shoots from the trees' trunks. Or epicormic growth, if we're being fancy!

We cleared away the clippings and then got to work giving the trees a good pruning, able assisted by Chiswick House's excellent range of dog visitors.

There were some excellent techniques getting as much as humanely possible into the ton bags, and some very professional lopping on display too. Great work everybody!

Next week we're back to do one of our favourite tasks - washing the Turnham Green mural. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us...

Can do spirit

Hammersmith and Fulham Report written by Alan Armstrong

St Simon's Church in Shepherds Bush was the scene for a new regular Monday GoodGym mission, supporting Hammersmith & Fulham Foodbank.

Honor and Alan were met by the super-friendly volunteer team who guided us through a series of tasks ranging from setting up tables, moving and unpacking delivery crates and creating a seating area with tables and chairs. There were plenty of toiletries and food to be sorted, including lots of tinned vegetables, pulses and classic favourite meals.

A very satisfying "power hour" indeed left the grateful regular volunteer team ready to admit the equally grateful foodbank recipients.
