Danni and I arrived and contacted Ms M very quickly. We discussed the task first whilst watching the multitude of sparrows feeding in the garden that also included many many birdhouses.

Ms M needed some help clearing some ivy from one side of the garden and struggles to get outside on her own, as such she joined us for the task and we all worked together.

The sparrows live in the same end of the garden as the ivy so we didn’t want to clear too much, so it was carefully managed to make it look neater but not upset their habitat. We were finished quite quickly but Ms M was very happy with our work and was very enjoyable to spend the time with in the garden.

It was a brisk Sunday morning after a sharp frost, but it didn't stop lots of people turning out in Lakenham to help create thriving habitats for lizards.

We welcomed Danni who was taking part in her first GoodGym session.

There were also two other community groups helping at the task: Wild Lakenham and LTC.

The majority of people where cutting back brambles and other areas, while some others did a litter pick.

The morning was finished off with some lovely, well earned refreshments.
