2 Goodgymmers joined other regular volunteers at Common Thread to help tidy everything away after the latest clothes swap. It involved lots of physical work, heaving boxes up and down stairs in the labyrinthine building. We also had the usual fun of searching through for weird and wonderful items, plus we were rewarded with delicious homemade food at the end!

One Goodgymmer joined friends of Parkwood springs for the monthly gardening session. We weeded - removing creeping butter cups, wood avens and couch grass - pruned gooseberry bushes and planted strawberries. The sun even made an appearance and we admired the buzzards flying overhead. Next session will be on 28/2. We’re already thinking what other plants we’d like to grow! If anyone has any spare rhubarb plants - this being Yorkshire after all!- or globe artichokes, please get in touch !
