We ran to and from HEART to Meanwood Valley Farm making the most of the twilight before our Wednesday evening GoodGym tasks will be done in the dark. Christian brought along Andrea who has promised to bring us all Pastel de Natas next time! Mike met us at the farm and split us into 3 groups to work on the maturing compost heaps; 'terminating' the flower beds; and tackling the tomatoes in the (poly) tunnels. We managed to say hello to the alpacas in the dusk who we learned are brothers who have loud arguments and upset the neighbours! We heard them bickering later! We, however all got on famously, as usual!

The Cardigan Arms for comedy...

5 Goodgymers headed to the Cardigan Arms after the task tonight to watch comedian Eric Rushton.

It was a great night. Thanks to Jubz for organising :)

Tonight me & my eyebrows met the gang at Heart & had a run down to Meanwood Valley Farm.

We had a big hoe down, weeding the polytunnels and the outside beds. Freddie used a very cool contraption which is called a weed snatcher! We also laid some compost & had a general tidy up.

The run back was quite dark...I think head torches are now needed sadly!

Well done to Shannen on her 50th good deed tonight :) You're a superstar!

A big welcome to Analise & Angela, we hope to see you again soon. It was also nice to see Emily again after a long break.

...you had to be there for that one!!

Tonight we had a new task & headed up to Shire Oak Primary School to help paint the walls for the new sensory outdoor classroom. We got to work & managed to do all the weeding too. The walls will need another coat, so we're going back in October to finish the job.

Lots of amusing conversations were had with topics including eyebrows, beards, tents blowing away, the US ambassador and comedy writing! Oh and a phoneless chimney sweep...

Thanks for a great evening all :)
