Well done to the painting team last night on Phase 2 of the Holy Rails.

Martel, Adam, Tom and Jane hung in there to stay on the rails in the face of icey winds and very cold conditions (so cold Jane ended up painting in her cycle helmet).

GoodGym always like to be completors and finishers - but the cold made the paint less pliable and slow to apply - so it proved mission impossible to β€˜holy’ polish off a small patch of railing left - ahhh a tad frustrating!

Thanks to vicar Mark for being such a welcoming host and blessing us with patience and perseverance. πŸ™πŸ˜‡

Also to the angelic choir doing some baltic outdoor choir practice that helped keep us going.🎼🎀

And to Adam on his new GG uniform - a PVC onesie! πŸ˜‚β€οΈπŸ˜
