GoodGym regulars Vic and Steve headed to the Marsha Phoenix Trust after Hilly Fields Parkrun, both glowing with a course PB under their belts. Expert landscape gardener and GoodGym fan Sue met us there, and we got the lay of the land and instructions from her on what was in store for us to do.

On Bank Holiday Monday 28th there will be a GoodGym group run here, so Vic’s main task was to focus on cutting back and clearing access to the side of the studio building for when a larger group can tackle the brambles and ivy that have overgrown that area. Steve, feeling the effects of the previous evening’s GoodGym Social, decided it best to stick to the meditative task of mowing the large lawn.

And obviously, Grey Photogenic Cat showed up to see what we were doing and adorably interrupt us.

A tea break and a catch-up were a welcome pause before everyone got back to work on some shorter tasks to finish out the session. By the time we said our goodbyes, the garden looked a good sight neater and the compost bins were full to the brim of clippings and cuttings.
