We were back to Southampton City Farm to help build up Goat Mountain once again. They have been busy setting up some new enclosures and areas so a lovely pile of compacted earth needed shifting. All of us got stuck in filling up the wheelbarrows helped by Danni from the farm. Chris was perfecting his run up ensuring we got all the earth in the right place. Naturally we had a great workout and a little pilates roll down afterwards to help ease out our backs. There will no doubt be another Goat Mountain session to come.

We were back this evening to carry on clearing the planter in the local residential area to help the elderly residents. We cleared alot of brambles and raked back lots of waste. The planter is now nearly ready for digging and shovelling before it can then be replanted The local residents were very pleased and one lady stopped by to thank us which was lovely. We look forward to returning soon

We joined the lovely folk of Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery on their monthly session. Welcome to Ashleigh on her first session with Good Gym Southampton. Woody woodpecker made his presence known and we were all delighted to hear the tapping call ringing out. A great fun task chopping up all the branches and old wood cut down to keep the area safe and tidy enough for the community who regularly visit the graves. Loppers at the ready although much merriment was had snapping twigs. Judy, myself, Lucy along with Ashleigh got stuck in with great gusto. Lots of fun filling lots of bags and a great opportunity to chat with all the other volunteers. I now have tool envy of the DeWalt Mini Saw they have. Always a pleasure to do this task as we are rewarded with refreshments in the old chapel afterwards.
