Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Tonight we were helping the Achieving for Children - Family Hub Service improve the aesthetics of their entrance way.

This was a community mission so we met at the The Binoy for a social walk with some tools and other items we needed for the task.

We were met by task owner Daniel and a Spanish Storm called Nelson! They both introduced themselves ๐Ÿคฃ Nelson was particularly forceful! ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ฆ

We put on the 70s music to drown out the wind and have a sing/dance to as Jen, Didem, Devon, Sue and Mandy set about the weeding, ripping up the old weed-proof lining, removing leaves and litter.

Nearly lost the dust pan a few times in the air and everything was flapping about. But the we kept going in true GG spirit.

Once the main weeding was completed we did our very best to brush away the mud and debris but this was made difficult by the rain so we improvised with a bucket and old kettle to try and swilll some of the mud away. We also gave the inside a hoover at the end to get rid of any mud.

We then took the bags over to the bin area with Daniel.

Sadly it was too wet and windy for Easter games ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฃ( maybe next week?) or to paint the bench but we will try and go back for that another time. Sue will also go back and scatter some grass seed ๐ŸŒฑon the cultivated earth in the next few days ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปโ™ฅ๏ธ when the wind has died down.

Thank you all as always for coming especially given the conditions ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปโ™ฅ๏ธ
