Weeding and Water

After a small blip the sun was back out in force to top our great GoodGymers vitamin D as 15 brave souls headed 1 mile deeper in to the depths of East London in a bid to make St Luke's garden look sexy once more whilst two others headed to a mission where a front garden had become really overgrown.

Jamie and Kevin arrived at Sharon's house and got elbows-deep in weeds and litter to restore it to it’d former tidy glory. They packed seven bags full of green waste then headed back to join us at London Fields.

Meanwhile the rest of the group listened to a quick briefing and we were out the door, a nice steady pace as we planned to save the real work for later.

We arrived at St Luke's church and were greeted by the lovely Betsy smiling as always. She said hiiiiiii had split us all up into groups. Some tended to dragging weeds from whence they came, others revarnished the beautiful wooden garden furniture we built months ago, some moved chairs and tables whilst the rest put together a group of pipes to make a hose for watering the garden.

45 minutes later all the weeds had gone, the chairs were shiny and new, all the rubbish had gone, the grass was soaked, the chairs were where they needed to be and more importantly everyone was smiling.

Betsy said thank you and requested we return every week if this is what we get done in 45 minutes. We said our goodbyes and headed to London fields for a head to head relay, some core and lots of work on these lovely arms of ours.

Always a pleasure, hopefully you all enjoyed the sunshine, hopefully see you next week.
