It wasn't that cold, but the pun for the title works.

We welcomed Holly who came for her first ever GoodGym session and claimed her first good deed.

As we gathered at the Walled Garden to get the tools, we decided to use these next two Saturdays to prepare for the group run on Wednesday 17th, when we put down the edging of the woodchip path in the Forest Garden.

This meant we had to split into two teams:

Holly, Maria, Mikhail and Nathan were team mulch as they transported just under a dozen wheelbarrow loads from the woodchip depo to the Forest Garden. Meanwhile, Alex and Sam took it in turns to saw logs as despite having three saws, only one really works.

After an hour, we completed as much as we could for the first session back. More of the same next Saturday!
