After meeting at the morning community mission at Acton junior parkrun and going opposite ways to help different areas, Harvey and Kash reunited at Bixley Allotments for their last task this week.

The mound of hidden rubbish where the GoodGymers dug out bikes last month still needed attention. While Harvey and Kash worked their shovels to excavate ancient litter, "The Boss" arrived.

Here comes trouble...

Matwinder enthusiastically wheeled onto the narrow path to the allotment and brought some fresh perspective to the Bixley plot.

Did you see the tulips? They are beautiful!

The GoodGymers looked around. Indeed, Bixley was not reduced to the rubbish mound behind the shed after all. The flowers looked gorgeous!

Mani took Harvey, Kash and the least flat-tyred of the wheelbarrows on a side quest outside the boundaries of the allotment. They ventured to Southall to pick up a nano polytunnel parts and deliver it to Bixley. Once back on site, Mani shoved it inside the mini polytunnel. Hopefully, no parts were missing. That was a surprisingly quick and easy job after all the work on building the macro polytunnel at Western Road!

Harvey and Kash finished the session, taking out the bags with collected litter to dispose of in the bins nearby, then had an excellent walk back in the sun towards Hanwell along the canal towpath.
