5 full sized goodgymmers (and two half pint sized honorary ones) got up nice and early on a Saturday morning to lend a hand at the Haringey Learning Partnership.

What A Drag

It was all fun and games as we joined Luke from GrowN22 for a spot of hardcore gardening at the Haringey Learning Partnership.

On the menu for the day: delimbing some fallen trees ("Poor trees have passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this"), using the delimbed branches to create some natural fences/ bug hotels, clearing some ivy, and then dragging the bags full of garden detritus across the grounds of the HLP. Easy as.

On we got with the delimbing. Alex, Julie, and Louise are old hands at the processing end of dealing with fallen trees and they made some quick work out of a massive pile of branches.

Rosa, mini-Gramps 1, and mini-Gramps 2 got on with clearing dead leaves from the beds so we could used the delimbed branches from some jenga-like fence-making.

You should've seen them, reader. Buzzing here, beaming there. Their effervescence soon paid dividends and it was time to drag the very heavy bags across the playgrounds and courtyards of the HLP.

I say it was time to do that, but instead we had some more fun and games and even a bit of Badgym™ bubbled up as we put a cool cat in a bin [1]. Shocking, I know. But you had to be there.

We then said our goodbyes and went our merry way.

Happy days.

Join Charlie and Co on Wednesday at Tottenham Green for even more fun and games

Mini Gramps 1&2. I love them. I'm missing my Haringey Wednesdays. Can't wait to join in the fun again soon.
