Wood vibes all around

Week 2 of our task at the Yurt Café in Limehouse saw us gathering by the picnic tables for Larry's briefing shortly after 7 this evening.

Our first task was to head around to Butcher Row and trim the Buddleja, which was poking through the fence. We worked along the length of this fence, lopping branches and plucking weeds at a thoroughly good speed. Shout-out to Lucinda who was positioned between the fence and the Portakabin, chopping branches and feeding them through the fence.

After we'd completed this first task, we headed around to the garden to make a start of the other big tasks.

Task 2 (and 3)

First up was the timber relocation. Armed with large planks of wood, the first team shuttled back and forth from the area at the bottom of the garden to the Portakabins until the pile was no more.

Our second team got to work on the planter near the cafe, juggling screwdrivers and stubborn planter sides in poorly-lit conditions, stopping frequently and patiently for my slow photographs.

It was another fun and active night in Limehouse, spent with Larry our task owner who's enormously appreciative of the time GoodGymers are spending helping prepare this area for a time-sensitive, exciting new project.

The evening was rounded off with a big shout-out to our Fiona, a huge part of GG Tower Hamlets, who tonight reached her 100th good deed!

Next week, we're heading inside, for our first task at the Island House Community Centre.

Until then.
