...you had to be there for that one!!

Tonight we had a new task & headed up to Shire Oak Primary School to help paint the walls for the new sensory outdoor classroom. We got to work & managed to do all the weeding too. The walls will need another coat, so we're going back in October to finish the job.

Lots of amusing conversations were had with topics including eyebrows, beards, tents blowing away, the US ambassador and comedy writing! Oh and a phoneless chimney sweep...

Thanks for a great evening all :)

On Tuesday evening, we collaborated with the Leeds Summit on Community Sport For Development and Diplomacy & held a GoodGym session for people attending the summit.

We headed up to Bedford Fields Community Garden to meet Beth for various jobs including a very satisfying one, pulling all the strings of hop off the cabin. We then hung the hop to dry so they can use it for beer making and decorations.

We also did some weeding, clearing and stick preparations!

It was great to meet everyone & thanks for supporting GoodGym Leeds!

A big thanks to Jason & Ivo for ensuring the runners got to where they needed to be.

Another great evening spent at Beckhill Community Garden tonight.

We ran from Heart to meet Lyn for litter picking, laying cardboard & spreading lots of wood chip over a large area. We finished off with a bit of weeding.

Happy belated birthday to Lyn!

Tonight we said goodbye to Elspeth who's moving to Nottingham, good luck & we'll miss you!

Welcome to Dan who joined us for the first time in years tonight .

Today, I headed up to OWLS allotments to weed the back bed. It was covered in nettles so I was stung A LOT but it looked loads better by the time I left :)

Tonight we named 3 pigs...Laura, Helen & Jason, the girl pig with an identity crisis. They're the new resident pigs at Meanwood Valley Farm & we hoped naming them may prolong their lives.. here's hoping!

We had a good run and then had 3 jobs, weeding the beds for winter vegetables, turning compost (we now have professional status with this task) & bringing woodchip down to cover new compost.

Fun & games were had involving wheelbarrows & Jubz...I say no more...

Thanks for a great evening all!

Christian was in his element tonight, he was climbing and sawing trees and playing football with local kids.

The group headed up to Beckhill Community Garden to trim the Ivy from the tree, tidy up the weeping willow & we then put the cuttings onto the dead hedge we made a few weeks ago.

The rest of the gang weeded and trimmed tomatoes. We were then sent home with some Chicken wood mushrooms, runner beans, yellow cucumbers & courgettes. Thanks Lyn!

Helen took the group on a magical mystery tour on the way back!

We said goodbye to Katie who's going travelling for 3 months. Have fun Katie and see you at Christmas!
