Earth Day was celebrated in Bristol through a visit to Brunswick Cemetery to support their Friends group's Monday morning action.

No orchestra today and on/off light rain meant great weather for transplanting from the wrong place to (hopefully) the right place, sycamore and bramble popping galore and paths revealed to (almost) their former glory - all in all a lot of earth was moved and two dumpy sacks filled, to be collected by the Council.

Also, almost an argument about cake as it's the week of Marianne's 50th good deed AND Jordan's birthday week so big celebrations at the Group Run tomorrow!

Seven runners and four walkers made their way to Riverside Park in the evening sunshine to do what we do best...rid the parks of rubbish with style, panache and a little je ne sais quoi! (one of our new GoodGymers is French and I remembered that I am fluent at French! :-) So bienvenue to Genevieve and benvenuta to Brent GoodGymer Gaia (who's Italian, which is not one of the many languages I speak so had to Google that one.) It felt as if spring had finally arrived this evening and while we worked hard at the task, it was great to hear the chat and laughter while doing good, and seeing passers by smile and acknowledge the work we were doing for our community.
