Despite the rain and the novice food shopper's uncertainty about Mr C's preferred biscuit variety, the food delivery was completed on time and within budget. Another successful mission, hopefully cheering up somebody's rainy day :)

Rachel, Jane, Eleanor and Helen met at First Steps nursery in Twerton on a Wednesday evening.

The grass was long, there were lots of weeds in the beds and there were nettles. Our aim for the session, was to clear the garden of weeds, strim the grass and weed the beds ready for the children to plant in the garden and to be able to play safely.

We had just one hour to complete our mission. Eleanor and Rachel attacked the long grass with a strimmer, whilst Jane and Helen focussed on the weeds. Time fly by and before we knew it we had completed our mission.

Here is what our Task Owner had to say "We are all thrilled at the work that you did last night for the Twerton Community Nursery, so excited as this starts our Get Growing project, sponsored by Quartet!
Thank you very much indeed to you all!"

5 runners ran to deliver the regular hot roast dinners, made by local church members, for people who are unable to meet up and have this lunch together.

Goodgymmers returned to Bath City Farm this week to help out with more shovelling! After woodchip last week, this week it was compost and well-rotted manure...

Helen, Max and Ellie tackled the compost, wheelbarrowing it to the polytunnels and potting areas. Emily, Alice and Sam moved manure from one side of the farm to the other, kept very entertained by escaping chickens and Louis, a cranky goat... It was heavy old work, but we were rewarded with beautiful views across Bath, a little bit of sunshine, and lots of tiny newborn lambs.

At the end we got to feed willow branches to some lovely goats, including one who stood on Emily's toes, and Oreo who was very keen to headbutt Max's ankles. Another brilliant day at the farm - we can't wait to go back and see what lovely things have been grown in our expertly-transported soil!!
