A herioc four of us (including Julius at his first ever sesssion!) managed to tear ourselves away from our desks on a Friday lunchtime for some grave clearing at the beautiful St Mary's Church in Walthamstow village.

GoodGym Waltham Forest are regulars here and head gardener Tim met us promptly, gave us a selection of fierce looking tools and showed us to an area of the graveyard that needed a little TLC.

We spent a lovely 45 minutes clearing Ivy and brambles from the graves, chatting away and genereally enjoying being outside the sunshine.

Want to join us? We'll be back next Friday 21st January for another lunchtime session. Join us by signing up here.
