Tuesday evening and we were off to visit Jean and Annick at Windmill Gardens to start preparations for the Spring opening of the park to the public.

We had a new runner with us this evening and the Cypriot takeover continues as we were joined by Anna, welcome to GoodGym Lambeth - great to have you with us! Well done to Joao for spreading the word and bringing in new volunteers as well.

(This evening's category was 'Things with Wheels' FYI. Some great outside the box answers like pram & meals on wheels!)

A straightforward run up Brixton Hill to the gardens and we were there in good time to see what Jean and team had in store for us. On arrival we divided into 3 groups with one heading out to do litter picking (Tilly), the other clearing the borders of the grassy areas (Clare) and Joao and AA heading over to dig out a dead tree and replant a new one.

Liz awesome work carrying the load (water buckets) ;0) and Sam an excellent selection of tunes despite the lack of nursery rhymes....

It was a freezing evening so well done to all for coming out and putting in a really good amount of work, we managed to do a huge chunk and things are nicely set up for this Saturday's Community Mission coming up, see link below: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/get-windmill-gardens-ready-for-a-joyful-spring

That's it - see you next week!
