A cold crisp Sunday afternoon brought a cheerful gaggle of GoodGymers together for a lovely community mission to end the week. The little Wharf Garden is a hidden haven amidst the bustling pubs and taverns of Greenwich and we caught many an eye of those wandering past, wondering who we were, why we were allowed in a private garden and why we were taking so many photos.

The task was to gather as many leaves as possible, weed between the paving slabs and generally have a good tidy up. After each getting a face full of leaves we learned the technique for dropping our handfuls, barrowfulls and bagfuls of leaves over the wall for the most part. It was great to have such a big group for this task and in true GoodGym style we got to task and by the end of our time the garden was looking much clearer. Big shout out to Anthony who joined us for his first community mission - great to have you along!

Tom, the much loved labrador didn't grace us with his presence this week but Lucy did build a relationship with a well fed worm so all was not lost.

After spending an hour doing lots of good we decided to reward ourselves with a little drink and proceeded to try three pubs before braving the outside of the Trafalgar Tavern, where we chatted until we started to not feel our fingers and toes and all headed on our way to enjoy the rest of our weekends.

Great job team!
