It was a feeling of deja brew for fourtean goodgymmers last night as we visited the lovely T On The Green for a good ol' fashioned GGH "group run".

Our Cup Runneth Over

Last night we welcomed Sharon, Don, Sylvester, and Katy for their first ever Goodgym task and they were absolute pros. Kudos their way, s'il vous plait.

Also a shout out for Kapil. Julia, Louise, Geraldine, and Sharon who met up with me for a 4k run down the scenic White Hart Lane/Tottenham Cemetery route to the task. Bliss!

High Tea In The Park 

It was fifty shades of earl grey for GGH last night as we embraced with both arms the opportunitea to visit the T On The Green Cafe in Bruce Castle Park.

Carol from T On The Green had an assortment of tasks and tools for us but the general brief of the evening was "look around and make the place tidy" and that's what we did.

Two groups of litter pickers set to work across the Green; three sub-teams tackled the planters we painted on our last visit and now needed a good weeding; never ones to chai away from hard graft, Nurjehan and Kapil got on their knees and cleared the tiles on the ramp leading up to the cafe from months-worth of slippery moss; and yet another team got on with assembling a flat pack sand pit.

The place was brewing with hard graft and minttea aroma as the teams weeded around the peppermint.

After about an hour, I had to call time on our evening but not before we posed for some pictures and a bit of elbow-bumping action.

We said our goodbyes and some of us even found the time for a little socially-distanced dinner afterwards.

Boom!

Back next when we'll be visiting the Library Garden on Tuesday, Elizabeth Place and Cranwood Homeless Shelter on Wednesday. Join us!

Down to a T! We certainly left the place in MINT CONDITION. And how wonderful to be reunited, if reconstituted as a group together. Thank you E and GGH. I'll shout ya'll a Lady G.
