Second helpings at Alexander First School

Nicola, Jen and Sue joined me this evening for GoodGym's second session helping at Alexander First School. Although this was GoodGym's second visit, it was my first and I was really impressed with the outdoor space - a 5 year old's/GoodGymer's paradise!

We arrived to rumbles of thunder and a warm welcome from rain-soaked task owner Mark, who helped us gather tools and showed us what needed doing.

Nicola and I jumped at the chance to paint some pallet fencing and Sue and Jen opted to cut back an overenthusiastic hedge.

While we worked we chatted about everything from inspirational Olympic performances to rocking horses and Slough GoodGym's surprise birthday party. As we chatted, stresses of the work/childcare day melted away, the thunderstorm cleared and we were treated to a beautiful sunset.
