There were beautiful sunny conditions for litter picking in Sydenham’s Mayow Park for Adi who left the park a bit more resplendent after picking up the coke bottles and takeaway boxes.

Paul had similar conditions in Deptford’s Brookmill Park where he litterpicked under a pair a heron nests, there was a mixture of new beer bottles and an assortment of plastics brought down by the Ravsnesbourne.

Today’s shop for the lovely Mr J was a bit trickier than normal as it was Eid and a lot of the stalls and shops weren’t open as a result. Fortunately the man at the shop selling mops had been to early prayers so I was able to replace the one that the carers had wrecked.

The rest was almost entirely heavy fruit and veg and the trolley was bulging by the time I had finished.

Not together obviously….

A straightforward forward shop at the Co-Op plus some window shopping for Easter goodies and Sudocrem to look at how much things cost, for next week’s visit.

With the promise of lighter evenings, we gathered at Glass Mill with the slightest bit of lighter sky remaining. Not long until we won't need the lights and head torches and they can go away for another summer.

Welcome to Ndubuisi hope you enjoyed your first GoodGym ssssion and that we'll see you back at future sessions.

The task for the evening was to clear the weeds between the hedgerows at Florence Green. We planted these and then removed their protective casing and now we're making sure they're not overrun by weeds until they get big enough to stand their ground.

We've made good progress along the row and hopefully by the end of next group run we'll make it to the end!

Another session with the lovely Ms D; when she opened the front door it looked as though things seemed to have gone backwards since my last visit. However, it soon became clear that the reason for this was that she had a new folding mobility scooter in the hall. I filled a wheelie bin with stuff to get rid of, she rang a friend whilst I was there to get several black bags full of unwanted items to a charity shop, and made sure she had a clearer route to the back door with trip hazards.

Mrs J & her husband have a nice garden and she was a keen gardener - though it's a bit harder to get out there now. The bush looked good before I started but all the underneath was dead so she wanted them cut right back so they can regrow more healthy, which hopefully they will! Pulled up some old dead asparagus plants too and could already see the new ones coming up :)
