Dead Good Wood

7 members of GoodGym Leeds returned to Farsley Rehoboth Cemetery to help the regular volunteers clear more of the overgrown vegetation and trees. We started by chopping up and moving large piles of sticks and wood that had been cleared from trees at one end of the graveyard to a bonfire at the other end. Nicky, one of the regular volunteers and designated chief fire maker, was feeding the wood to the fire almost as quickly as we could get it to her. As we made our way up and down the path carrying comically large sticks, Suzie observed that we looked "like the ants in bug's Life carrying food back to the colony". Whilst some of us carried on, hoping that a giant locust wasn't going to squash us, some of the group were assigned the very important job of measuring bricks. Using a very technical measuring method (a stick that was about the right length) they identified which bricks were suitable for use in the wall being built at the back of the cemetery. Once we'd cleared a large area, where a house had once been built and then moved brick by brick somewhere else, we all said goodbye and headed off home, excited to come back and help again soon.
