4 GG Yorkies met up for the third bash at flattening a pile of earth to make a wildflower patch.

Thanks to two previous missions, the former mud mountain was now more of a slope.

Without a wheelbarrow to transport the mud from the high end to the flat end of the slope, we settled for slinging lumps of clay off the ends of our spades and hoping for the best. Emma bravely picked up a rake to tidy up at the flat end (towards which the rest of us were flinging mud) and repeatedly reassured us that:

It's looking better

Half way through, we were joined by Rudy. He had unsuspectingly come to visit Louise. We didn't quite manage to convince him to join Goodgym, but he did pick up a spade and prove to be a worthy opponent to the mud slope. An hour later, we couldn't say that the slope was flat, but Emma had convinced us all that it did indeed "look better".
