Sunshine made for a relaxed start to the Group (Run) Walk with everyone opting for the slower pace to Brunswick Cemetery with lits of chat and excitement provided by two swans nearing each other with Frances adding jeopardy with a running commentary of "friends or enemies" - turned out they were lovely friends.

Jo and Di from the friends group were there to meet us and we decided on giving our attention to a path that we'd (pun alert) not tidied for a while. High, low and everything in between was targeted by enthusiastic GoodGymmers, except Darren who wasn't up in the enthusiasm stakes.

Richard G, Richard B and Frances specialised in bindweed gathering (did you know it can be used as a diuretic?) then shrub shaping, Julie did an amazing job at tidying everyone's cuttings and weeds whilst Freya showed her completer/finisher side by continuing her previous work on paving weeding and edge tidying.

The huge pile of green waste from the previous day's Friends session with a GG Community Mission was even bigger by the tine we set off for Eats and discussions about the upcoming Board Games Night with Frances whetting our appetite with a recommendation of a Chinese Whispers meet Pictionary mash-up where velociraptor Jesus became spatchcocked giraffe, obviously.

All good fun, and more to come next week.

Today's chosen spot was a flower bed being choked by bindweed, brambles as well as plants (some of which we like!) takin gup half the width of the path - so lots to do!

Rose shrubs were pruned and bindweed and jasmine climbers untangled (we want to keep the jasmine when it's in the right place), brambles were removed left, right and centre and the Jerusalem Sage cut back and, with tender loving care, ripped back from the path.

The pile of green waste to be removed was the biggest yet with 3 GoodGymmers and £ Friends of Brunswick - all from just one of the beds. We're looking forward to seeing how it gets on, especially after being soaked by teh rain we mostly avoided.

A lovely day greeted 4 GGers at the farm. This week we tackled the front area, clearing leaves and weeding around the edges. No kidding around as we made rapid progress. To end we had a goaty picture and departed for a coffee.
