Dried off from flyering we were joined by six other goodgymers for an indoor session as the weather was too treacherous for goat mountain escapades.

It was lovely to also welcome Bethan for the first time this evening!

We were tasked with doing something very unique this evening, making seed bombs out of clay, mud and soil for the farm to distribute at a community event.

A small group ventured into the woods to retrieve some soil before heading in. We then had to remove twigs and worms from the soil before mixing the soil with clay and water and eventually the seeds.

We then rolled these into small ping pong sized balls before removing them for safe keeping.

We were tasked with making 60 but Abby counted 217!!

Definitely a unique task and we were even rewarded with cake 🍰

We returned to goatee beach today to help with the beach cleanup.

Unlike last time the tide was much higher and the weather less favourable meaning we couldn't get down onto much of the beach. We started off by going into the surrounding woodland to see what we could find but it was mostly clear!

We did manage to get down onto the beach and found lots of glass again. Grace and mini goodgymer tried to save a baby shark (doo doo doo doo doo doo) who was struggling and we also spotted some crabs!

it was lovely to also welcome Lorraine for her first task with us 😀

We called it a day just as the weather started getting very nasty before heading off for fairy doors!

Goodgym Southampton is one year old today!! 🎉🎂

To celebrate we went to city farm with an army of goodgymers ready and eager to help with whatever task Tom may have had in mind for us. We were pretty sure it was going to be more goat mountain shenanigans but were shocked when farm volunteer Danni mentioned that this evening we would be helping put all the animals to bed and meeting them all by means of celebration and thankyou.

We were thoroughly spoilt - getting to feed the sheep and goats, getting walked by the new pygmy boys, putting the chickens and ducks to bed and meeting all the reptiles from the blue tongued skink to the gecko and giant african land snail.

After our tour of the farm we were kindly given use of the community room to celebrate our birthday with cake and drinks kindly supplied by Energise Me and Ellie.

We were also delighted to see Paul and Simon back with us after last weeks litter pick and to welcome Aimee for her first goodgym task.

Its been an incredible year with 157 tasks(!!!). Heres to seeing what year two brings!
