Two goodgymers ran, two goodgymers walked and one arrived late to do gardening for Hearing Help Essex and meet MP candidate Marie Goldman.

On a warm Wednesday evening we set off down the Moulsham Mill to pick up where we left off last week and get stuck into the weeds in the garden. It was just me and Laurie who ran down so that definitely counts as a date night, right?

We met Nick there who told us what to do while he mowed the lawn and lopped some trees and we grabbed some bags to get stuck in.

We have contacted all candidates for Chelmsford MP at the upcoming election to see if they wanted to see some of the work we do in the local community and to talk about local and wider issues which are impacting us all. Marie is the Liberal Democrat candidate and it was good to demonstrate what sort of tasks we do around Chelmsford and ask some questions about policies. Very nice to meet her. Please do vote, whichever way it may be, as it is incredibly important to have your voice heard. We will keep everyone posted if any more come along.

Saeed was an absolute machine it came to tidying up, great work. While Jess showed late (good luck to her daughter at the interview!) but that didn't stop her attacking bushes, leaves and weeds with aplomb.

Sallyann led the walk back (and there) and is excited for San this Saturday! Still a couple places for 6:30 and meet there if anyone wants to go. All you can eat Chinese!
