Valentine's Day is fast approaching and our task on a chilly and wet Tuesday was to produce a window display for the British Heart Foundation's shop.

The boys in our group were feeling pretty exposed and clueless so we left it to the girls to formulate an idea.

Step forward Levita, Laurel, Claire, Rachel, Jana and Anna to mastermind a design which attracted admirers almost immediately.

Jonathan, Tom, Luke, and Sabir helped bring down mannequins to be dressed in wedding finery, while Dave and Claire and others painstakingly cut out and stuck eye-catching hearts on the window. Flowers appeared by the bucketload, rugs were carried across the shop floor and it ended up looking pretty amazing.

A really fun evening ended with our social at The Albion, where Six Nation burgers are well recommended.

Helping local charity shops with preloved items and buying a few things whilst there. Finding something nice to purchase.

This morning 5 goodgymers arrived at Kingston Cemetery for a spot of bramble clearing. Armed with loppers and rakes we chopped back as much as we could to make a clearer space for visitors. The brambles we prickly and we had to take care to avoid getting stuck! An hour soon whizzed by in the winter sunshine and we piled up the clippings and left to complete a few more kms for the January challenge.
