Report written by Sallyann Hardwick
After a day comprising of four seasons befitting of a bank holiday the Good Gymmers met up to continue with the task of uncovering what we now know are an area of setts (!) - not cobbles and making a neglected walkway into a cared for and clean area. Vicky and Muriel were already hard at work when we got there Litter Clear Volunteers are such a hardworking group of people and when we arrived we could see the work that they had done since our last visit.
Greeted with smiles and a rainbow in the sky we set to continuing to clear, sweep, hoe and ferry all the moss to re-purpose at a nearby green space - Jo showed her determination to ensure that those stubborn straggling weeds came out, we all took turns to wheel the trolleys around to the green space until Jake and Lucien got into a rhythm, they ran back and forth with trolleys full - so quickly that the wheels fell off one of the trolleys... Heetu and Laura were filling the trolleys giving little time for a breather, everyone sped up as the wind started to get up and the sky got stormy - and then we had FINISHED.. we all said how we had not thought we would finish the task when we first got there - but once again it shows that with a group of people you can get a whole load of stuff done and what fun it is.
We all rushed home just in time before the rain arrived. Thanks LCV for helping us work off our Easter eggs.
