Sunday morning saw two goodgymmers join forces with Friends of Dallow Downs and Winsdon Hill for their monthly litter pick. We met in a different location today, and covered a new green space which had accumulated lots of rubbish, so it was great to band together and tackle it as a team. There is a large Badger population residing in this area, and Sophie who organises the litter picks found an intact Badger skull which was very interesting. Clearing away this litter will make the park more enjoyable for all its users, humans and wildlife alike. Together, we collected ten bags of rubbish, a mattress, a fabric shopping bag on wheels and an abandoned posy of flowers. Great job!

A trio of GoodGymers made up half the kitchen team at FoodCycle tonight and although we had very little food to work with there was an awful lot of fun and laughter. Gill came in extra early to make pastry, give it time to rest then rolled it out to line 4 large flan dishes ready to make quiches (or egg flans). Filled with softened onion, and mixed peppers, cheese and and egg mixture, the quiches were soon baking in the over. Lucy took charge of making a carrot soup for starter helped by Dani and they later went on to make a de-constructed trifle (aka, fruit, custard and cake) while Gill prepared some risotto to go with the quiche. We had around 36 guests who thoroughy enjoyed the meal, and we really felt that we made a flantastic contribution to the evening.
