Goodgym at Play

A good number of goodgymers got together this Tuesday. Our task to help at Nightingale House, a hostel that provides a temporary and welcoming home for homeless families in need support. As you can imagine the back yard and garden get a lot of use from the families, so was in good need of a tidy up and refresh.

Tonight, the running crew were led out by Darren, whilst Michael was busy at physio - see what happens when you don't stretch! Aimme led the walkers at a nice chatty pace, and Andrew was our lone cyclist for the evening.

Even with all the different groups we all still managed to arrive ready for starting at 19:00, even Michael made it from his physio.

To Work!

Gloves out, bags ready and who gets the brush? We got straight to work, sweeping and bagging the leaves - Autumn is on its way. A group made their way over to the play area to pull the weeds, it looked wonderful once completed. There was even time for an archaeological dig....apparently, all over a plastic peg - although I have to admit it did come in useful for weeding in between the slabs.

We managed quite a lot in the 40 minutes we stayed, the yard looked much cleaner, the playground inviting and the weeds were gone from all around the building.

A quick photo and it was time to head back, join us next week for our trip to Samye. Sign up here
