Freezing temperatures were no match for Goodgymers this morning, as Emily, Jacky, Tom, Mark, Rachel and Julie braved the cold to help Alex with a few jobs at the Forest School Allotment.

The Forest School has some new members, Salt and Pepper the therapy goats. Although they are tiny (and very cute) they need plenty of space in their pen, so there needs to be a few changes to the layout.

Our first task was to move a fence, which needed all our strength pulling the posts out of the frozen ground. Then after getting some big pots out of the way we started moving some of the raised beds.

Once all our tasks were done we couldn't resist saying hello to all the chickens, rabbits and goats before we left.

A great task today and we cant wait to come back to help Alex with some more projects soon as they get ready for spring.

We had a good workout this morning! We twice loaded the Growbaby van full of toys (and Petra's mini!) so it could be taken to the Growbaby present sorting day for kids that need additional support. We lugged boxes down the stairs and even used a dolly to move bigger boxes to the van.

A great way to start the morning and lovely to meet you, Jacky on your first task! Will see you in the afternoon for the main present sorting event.
