The magnificent seven ran, walked and cycled 1.5km up the hill to Lavender House in Kemp Town. We welcomed back Daniela and Edel. 😊

Good Gym has visited Lavender House lots of times but in the words of William Shakespear: "idle weeds are fast in growth"!

Lavender House is retirement housing and we enjoy helping the residents there.

We met Keith of Lavender House who showed us the tools and the task to be done.

Juliet, Jane, Rosie, Ben, Daniel, Edel and me rapidly if indiscriminately cleared the weeds from the flat garden and by the pavement.

A passer by told us how much better it all looked! We managed to finish off and mostly miss the rain shower!
