Ms N was so pleased to see me as her hubby is just out of hospital and they were wanting to be able to use the garden, which was a tad overgrown. After clearing some brambles I got started on mowing the first half of the garden, but the back half had much longer grass which needed strimming first before mowing. There were a lot of brambles left at the back of the garden with lots of blackberries, and Ms N was so chuffed when I offered to pick a bowlful for her . Hoping to go back to complete the task next week.

This weeks group run/walk/cycle took us to Trinity Church. William had got in touch and said the pews needed polish and the floors needed a once over. So once everyone had met at the bandstand in Wardown Park and the relevant briefings and stretching had been done, the walkers set off leaving the runners to do a more comprehensive warm up. Once at the Church, the team got stuck in with, dusting, polishing, washing and vacuuming and the place was looking sparkling ✨️ in no time. Several changes of water were needed as the floors were a lot dirtier than they appeared. Everyone got stuck in and William was very grateful for our efforts. Awesome job team 👏 🙌 👍🏻 👌

Another fabulous evening at FoodCycle for 5 Goodgymers. Whether in the cooking team or hosting team there was a great camaraderie for the volunteers tonight, who were absolutely on fire. Three course were prepped and served in record time and it was a delicious menu. Carrot and potato soup to start, then tofu carrot, cashew meat(less) balls on a mountain of spaghetti with tomato and red pepper sauce, followed up with fredh fruit salad and cake. 33 sit down guests and 10 takeaways enjoyed the home cooked fare and it was lovely to see so many empty plates. We had some really positive feedback from the guests too. Another successful task - well done team.
