Methodist in the madness

Thankfully unlike the last time we were scheduled to do this task it wasn't a total wash out!

Once the merry band of GG-ers had assembled Katie (Not GG Katie whose 200th good deed it was!) explained our mission for the morning and it was divine music to our ears - complete clearance and digging over, although I'm sure David was eager to show off his budding botanical knowledge from the last weeding task.

Leanne, Paul, Katie and David got stuck into churning over the soil in the bed to the front of the church, sorting the roots from the rubbish. We were also warned about the electrical cable which Katie managed to unearth several times (No Katie's were harmed in the making of this report). So not to compact the soil the team tactic was decided and starting in the middle (as socially distanced as possible) we worked out way outward.

Meanwhile Jenna and Louise took up the challenge of weeding an entire bed between them with some more of the Church volunteers in a more secluded garden round the corner.

David took it upon himself to sort out all the bulbs we dug up which seemed to trigger a round of tea and biscuits for all the workers, heavenly!

Amongst the many curious pieces of rubbish unearthed our prize find today was an old nokia handset (which probably still worked!) Which was soon complimented by the other team finding a sim card (what mysteries reside?).

After an hour and a half team Paullsop were finished but Jenna and Louise valiantly persisted for a few extra minutes to finish their bed.

After a quick tidy up and a group photo we left to the sounds of the church volunteers singing our praises. A job well done!
