3 GoodGymers ran to help clean up the garden at Mornington Hall.

A wonderful time as usual helping out at Mornington Hall. As always, Jacky had plenty for us to do and we got stuck in raking leaves and scooping them into the large bin.

After a few back and forth trips, we had completely filled the bin and were left with the task of wheeling it back to the collection point. Before this however, Emma and Jacky were kind enough to offer us cups of tea to warm up cold hands and set us up for the journey home.

As always, it was an absolute pleasure to spend time at Mornington Hall and we'll be back soon to tackle some hedges!
