Lovely to be able to run to, and complete (almost) a whole task, before it got dark. We started off meeting at the Bridge House, talking about the change of season as the clocks changed this weekend. Votes were mostly for spring and new life, blossoms, bugs, flowers, and how we're more likely to see new and returning people out on tasks now that evenings feel longer. We took a mini detour across Crystal Palace Park, watching people, dogs, and birds making the most of the weather, then arrived panting at the top of Anerley Hill to meet John and our other GoodGym taskers at the museum entrance. After pondering over whether Brunel might have tagged his work somewhere in the tower, we split into little groups - weeding, sweeping, digging and sorting rubble and rubbish from soil which can be used on local gardening projects. In fact, we learned how some soil from this water tower was used for a raised bench area in South Norwood Country Park recently. We all agreed that the best tasks (and to be honest, most of our tasks!) are the ones where we can immediately see the difference we've made in a short time :)
