A lovely sunny day welcomed team GG today. we tackled the front section that is very visible to users of this wonderful community space. With a selection of our favourite tools we sliced through the weeds and barrowed the weeds up to compost. An exceedingly good cake of a task. A final picture by the cherry blossom and artichokes and we were on our way. proper job👍

We had rival teams of GoodGymmers in Bristol this evening with the runners heading up to Bramble Farm and the walkers across to Redcliffe. Who would get more soaked was the main question but we didn't care because it was daylight! Jo was taking no chances in her three coats
As the runners, including safari-experienced Freya, helped out around the farm, including very deep mud for the pigs in their pen, the walkers were finding pens of their own on the litter pick by the bus stops - very entertainingly an Avon and Somerset Police pen followed by a Crimestoppers one, and a discarded badge which ironically was for "Be an everyday hero, #choosetoreuse".
Far more excitingly, FOUR discarded penguin wrappers were found, each at a different location and each with a different penguin joke. I say joke, thats quite generous. It did lead to Frances only being able to communicate through penguin "jokes" for a while.
Most unexpected finds included a curtain rail and dumbell, the later proving a very good workout for Arron and his Streetmaster Pro pickers, whilst Caroline's pickers had lost an Important Red Bit that holds the trigger in place and was most impressed that a little bit of stick could substitute. Richard G proved very good at ensuring we still had all seven walkers and herding us all back together - sheepdog-in-training for One Area Activator and Her Dog at the Shindig later this year.
Jason rounded off the task with a pose akin to Roddy the Roadman, which no-one except Melanie had ever heard about.
It was GoodGym Eats at The Stable and top runner (with a new haircut) Richard B was mighty happy when all seven walkers joined him at the big table he'd been occupying all on his own.
See you all again next week?

Somewhere will be looking much better, or worse, depending on the task...

Good Friday Farm folics brought us a lovely sunny morning. 8 hot crust GG buns and special guest Laura's friend joined for this Easter bunny edition. We had a set off tasks provided by the lovely chloe the livestock manager who we have got to know on our fridays. In Bay 4 near the compost heap we had one manure task, to bag and tie, ready to sale to help the community farm. Another group of us headed into the secret garden area to clear weeds and separate out that pesky bindweed. Another two of us entered the middle paddock cutting back the nettles and leaving the molar grazers to do the rest. 10 manure bags were produced for sale to the public, great job to help this great community enterprise. Great job, everyone, and have a happy Easter 🐣 🐰
