This morning 4 hardy goodgymers met at Searchlight to start the process of clearing some of the area ready for flax seeds to be sown by the Mencap members at a later date. There was grass, weeds and roots galore, which when working as a team along with Magdelene we managed to shift in the hour and a half alongside chat. A clean up followed along with a welcome cup of tea.

One of GG Kingston's favourite missions this evening: helping the British Heart Foundation at their massive charity shop in Kingston town centre. The task was to create a spring and summer window display.

After a brisk run we arrived at the store and sprung into action. The large window space needed clearing and display items needed gathering. This is part of the fun @ BHF - delving into their gargantuan 'back rooms' of furniture, books, games, ornaments... a hoarders paradise. We collected a load of summer-like items and got our creative juices flowing to plan out a bright and colourful window display.

As is always the way, many hands made light work and we had soon fulfilled the brief, much to the delight of BHF's steadfast manager, Christine.
