Some be-leaf goes a long way to a clean path

After a super rainy Friday, it was wonderful to wake up to a fresh, sunny Saturday morning ☀️ and a working session down at Beckenham Green. Joining Ian and the Friends group were some first time GoodGymers - Julia, Jenny and Jim - welcome! 👋

So many were we that we got our own special task - clearing up leaves and mud from the side of the paths and putting them in bags to be composted in the Green's composter. There were a LOT, but we convinced Ian we could get those paths cleared. Angela, Julia and Stephen used a rake and broom 🧹 to bag up the leaves, while Jenny and Jim brought the old compost bags out of the composter so that our new ones could be loaded. We picked up so many leaves that there wasn't room to compost them. Instead we put them into the fenced off area to decompose naturally, but at least they won't bother pedestrians now 🙂

Ian was very happy with our work, and I'm sure the Green users will be too.
