The weather was much better this week for our visit to Catton Grove Community Centre! I think Elizabeth was a little bitter that Brad and I missed last week...

We welcomed new GoodGymer Sarah on her first task and I was finally celebrating my 50th good deed! Elizabeth, in true GoodGym mother fashion, gave me a badge which I proudly wore.

Darren, Sarah, Kathryn and Rachel got stuck in with pruning the bushes that were sticking out through the railings at the front of the centre, while Brad and Jonathan lopped off some low-hanging branches on some large trees. Elizabeth set to task on her favourite job, getting all the weeds out of the edges of paving, which did look fabulous when she'd finished. I pulled out the weeds that she couldn't get as she went along.

It was great to see how much we've done over 3 weeks as we stood for our photo by the huge pile of leaves. We'll be back in the coming weeks as there's still lots to do!
