A sanding ovation for these GoodGym Entree-manure

It's finally feeling a bit normal as more GoodGym Community Missions start cropping up.

Tonight, six hardy GoodGymers met outside Bell House where they were greeted by Andy, who told them what tasks he had installed for them. We gave a warm welcome to Marga, who was invited by Victoria for her first GoodGym deed! Hoorrrrayyyy!

Just outside the gardens, there was a 500kg industrial size sack of sand with an extra 12 x 5kg bags on the side. Splitting up the task, we:

• Shovelled sand into wheelbarrows
• Transported them to a bog (that was dug up by other volunteers)
• Filled and raked the base of the pit/bog

Ultimately and hopefully, in a few weeks' time that bog/pit will turn into a pond 😊🦆

With that task only taking 30 minutes to complete, Andy put us on the compost heap to take the old manure to fill up some garden beds around the beautiful gardens and move/turn over the newer manure. We had the delight in seeing all the bugs and insects come rushing out as they saw their homes being slowly destroyed. I guess we can't make everyone happy, but at least, Andy was. Impressed with our work and GoodGym style dedication to get stuck in, we will be sure to hear back from him for more tasks in the near future. And do you know what? We will respond to his call 💪

Thanks Frances, Laura, Marga, Pippa and Victoria for coming out tonight and hopefully, you had as much fun as I did 👀😝😊
