Today the gang were back at the secret garden, helping to clear the community space for all.

We started with a spot of bramble and tree trimming, followed by weeding and seed planting. Great to see the difference after, all the while being supervised by Sasha the cat.

We welcomed to new people 2 newbies on Tuesday evening. Altogether there were four of us doing a litter pick. We went to Northernhay Gardens to see what we could find, it had been a sunny day and there was plenty of picnicking debris leftover. We spent the whole time there! Welcome to Matt and Rob who enjoyed their first litter picking experience with GoodGym Exeter.

2 GoodGymers ventured into a quiet Exeter to help marshal the Fast Friday City Run. There were 400 runners completing the 10k course with finish times from an amazing 30 minutes upwards. We cheered on our fellow GoodGymer, Laurence who took part.

My task was to mow the lawn for a gentleman who had recently had a heart operation. I got handy with the flymo and then weeded the path and flower beds. He was really pleased to see a tidy garden and will be able to nurture the plants ready for the summer.

Today I was helping Mrs J unload her car, it had been sitting full of old furniture for a few months. I took all the items up to her flat, helped rearrange the living room and had a nice chat over a cuppa. The cat, Sticks, was the supervisor on hand today. No pictures taken as it would have revealed location, but it was lovely to see the extra space I made after :)

This evening the gang were back helping at the secret garden. We helped raise the sides of a pond, strim overgrowth and cut bay tree branches that had started to smother a willow. A huge welcome and thank you to Exeter first-timer Alexis!
