Firm GG friends the Tree Musketeers were in need of some wooden pallets as base for a storage area at their nursery - cue some Goodgym muscle in the form of Queen Liz & Peter to help unload a van with some eagerly awaited pallets!

Shortly after Matt joined as well, a little delayed by having gotten off at the wrong stop on his way down to Hackney, area 9 on his tour of London GG areas.

Next task involved tools, of the sharp variety - cutting back stubborn thin growth around a damsel (?) tree to stop it interfering. The thinner ones were no match for the robbers, where the silkies came out to cut through the thicker bits. Several arms full found their way to the pile of wood in the corner of the nursery - what a bonfire would that pile be! Some litter-picking in between resulted in several sets of number plates, raising some questions on what sort of things were happening in the car park when it was quiet...

All too soon work called for all three, so after goodbyes each went on his/her way.

Good luck to Matt in visiting all of London goodgym areas in turn - look forward to seeing you in Redbridge!

Thanks to Liz for the pun & pictures, hope you got to do task #50 in the January challenge!
