What happens when a GoodGymer doesn't come to a session for over a year?

Well, nothing much as that's the beauty of GoodGym's model, you can come as often or as little as possible and still feel welcomed! That's how Josh felt after coming back to Thorlands after a year and seeing the changes.

Our task today with Lucie and Simon was to collect abandoned real estate posts from the community centre on the other side of the estate and bring them to the secret workshop that I only found out about for the first time (after 18 months....). However, Simon had troubles finding the keys and then the key would fit in the lock, but not turn....so after 45 minutes, we agreed to dump the posts in the back garden courtyard through some dodgy means.

We had planned a few more tasks for the session, but ended up doing two more quite rushed. Firstly, we moved a bundle of straw to the Walled garden before collecting tools to start digging more areas to put down the cardboard and leaf mulch as Sam brought more cardboard from home (all those Hello Fresh, Amazon and Bother orders came to good use)! Yet, time was not on our side and even staying a further 10 minutes; Josh and Sam had to leave Lucie and Simon to finish off the job. Until next week!
