We joined the lovely folk of Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery on their monthly session. Welcome to Ashleigh on her first session with Good Gym Southampton. Woody woodpecker made his presence known and we were all delighted to hear the tapping call ringing out. A great fun task chopping up all the branches and old wood cut down to keep the area safe and tidy enough for the community who regularly visit the graves. Loppers at the ready although much merriment was had snapping twigs. Judy, myself, Lucy along with Ashleigh got stuck in with great gusto. Lots of fun filling lots of bags and a great opportunity to chat with all the other volunteers. I now have tool envy of the DeWalt Mini Saw they have. Always a pleasure to do this task as we are rewarded with refreshments in the old chapel afterwards.
