*Whatever the weather *

Earlier in the day we had thought the weather forecast was against us and we nearly had to cancel. Then the forecast improved and we were back on track but 10 minutes before the start of the task we experienced a tropical deluge which drenched many of the team . There was also a spectacular rainbow appearing over the pier which was a sight to behold for our trusty trio walking along the prom.

Meeting our friends Sue and Peter at the cemetery is always a favourite for the Worthing goodgymers and it was great to have a 10 team turnout.

From moving logs to shifting soil into the wormery, from raking the grass to clearing the pond and putting bark onto some graves the group just got on and did it all with more than a sprinkling of some lovely social chatter thrown in too.

Special mention to GG angel Paula who managed to up end herself into a grave. Luckily the fall from grace was soon righted!

Hope to see as many of you as possible on our rescheduled Lyndhurst Road task tomorrow ( Wednesday 30th June)
