On what was threatening to be a pretty wet and miserable Sunday afternoon, 11 goodgymers showed true community spirit to turn up for another great Catherine and Liam Parkview task. After the slight disappointment of a significant amount of bulbs being delivered late... Catherine quickly ran through the backlog of ad hoc tasks we could help her with:

Aine and Stephen were originally tasked with planting an apple tree, but unfortunately it was dead. Becs and Sam were weeding around newly planted lavender. Ceiling and Ottla were weeding around more lavender which somehow included "weeding" some potatoes that John took home for dinner! Ivy, John and Julia were re-potting oak trees. Jennifer and myself weeded the Air bnb bed.

Catherine and Liam were happy doing the rounds and keeping everyone smiling and motivated - Liam in particular provided a morale boost by asking various task members questions such as "Have you ever had a leak?" and "Whats the biggest mistake you've ever made"

Good luck to the superheroes Ceiling and John who hopped straight over the road when the task was finished to help Becky plant some daffodils in the Cranbrook Estate!

Thanks all for coming, hope you had a lovely rest-of-Sunday 
