Mulch Of A Mulchness

Tonight's task was back to the lovely St Mary's Churchyard in Walthamstow. We have made a good few visits to this beautiful place in Walthamstow village, and we have made a significant improvement to the churchyard and the surrounding area. Tonight's task was continuing to barrow compost from the churchyard to a community garden nearby on Prospect Hill.

Some of our regulars were kept away with work, illness and childcare tonight but it was lovely to welcome a fantastic four of Fergus, Ros, Francis and Raymond along tonight. Our green-fingered contact, Tim, met us on sight to help us get going on the task. Fortunately, there was the same number of barrows as there were people and collectively the crew covered a good few miles with wheelbarrows full of mulch transporting it from the compost to a newly planted flower bed in the community garden.

After a decent workout with the barrow, we packed away our tools and went to my favourite triangle for some slow medium and fast laps around St Mary's graveyard. I usually count laps and watch everyone else work up a sweat with the temperature dropping and my feet feeling chilly; I decided to join in. I have to say it is a lot harder than I thought and Francis and Fergus pummeled me on the fast laps!

After posing for a few photos and brewing up a nice idea to celebrate a future GoodGym milestone (more on that soon), we headed back to base and a decent glass of 0.5% ABV Stout for Francis, Raymond and me.

Big love for showing up tonight guys, you a rock. ☮️
