Down on the farm, three brave GoodGym-ers set to work on a battle against some pretty resistant nettles. Anne was back from Scotland for her first task in a while, Esme was taking on her very first ever (congrats!), and Hannah was over from Bromley for the evening. The nettles proved tough and managed to sting through both leggings and gloves, but we definitely put up a good fight! And we are assured that the pigs will enjoy munching on the fruits of our labour (we learned that they have inch-thick skin and de-sensitised tongues so nettles are no match for them), so that’s a bonus bit of good done as well ; ) Thanks to Hackney City Farm for having us!
