Topiary morning to you

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Some of the residents overlooking Hebron Burial Ground will wake up this morning to find they are actually overlooking the Burial Ground and not just an overgrown hedge blocking out the daylight. Topiary challenge accepted, where the look we were going for was a "hedge".

Giby joined us for the first time and got stuck into the bramble bashing after joining the walking group - welcome!

A few blackberries were eaten before the spiky stalks joined the growing compost pile via the now-slick "rake and tarp" technique, a few graves were tripped over, a lot of puns proposed (I just wish i could remember them) and it was soon time to hide behind the (much lower) hedge for the final photo and the walkers and runners to race back to Queen Square/Workout and on to Las Iguanas for Eats, taking advantage of the Tortilla Tuesday offer and discussing the racism/merits of Speedy Gonzales - its always deep and meaningful at GoodGym Bristol!

Shady Behaviour

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Bit of a scorcher so shade sourced and much gravel revealed under pesky weeds (or nice grass and comfrey growing where we don’t want it).

Loss of chat around the mound then off for lunch along with the whole of Bristol - first stop closed their kitchen as they were so busy so popped next door for lovely veggie lunch and much-needed re-hydration. Lovely stuff.

Melon-y adventures

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

It was great to have Joshua finally able to join us after two inner tube incidents the previous two weeks - welcome, melon specialist!

We were due to be helping the the preparations for St Werburgh's Community Centre's Party in the Park but they weren't as far forward in the planning as they'd hoped so instead we tidied around the building and watered the plants plus testing the really-quite-narrow slide. The plant room itself was found but kept safe...

This is one of our longer walk/runs, so it was soon time for the walking group to set off, managing to get to Castle Park before the runners caught up, allowing a photo opportunity of the runners feeling the need to keep running uphill - very impressive.

Leaflets promoting the Party in the Park were distributed to shops on the way back with some more left with GoodGym locals to drop into more places over the next couple of days.

Back at Workout, we returned to last week's thrilling game of "guess Mariannes middle names" relying on the underrated strategy of knowing the last letter was in the second half if the alphabet. We eventually succeeded, but we're keeping it a secret. One middle name to go, the excitement is already at fever pitch.
