Seven GoodGymers showed up in the cold, autumnal weather to join the usual gang, including Otis the dog, at the pet cemetery, and leaves was yet again the key word for the task.

With our usual dumping ground soon to be removed because it’s become a suspected rat residence, we bagged up mountains of leaves and wheeled them away on a trolley. The rats’ days of rent-free living are soon numbered.

The rain had the decency to wait until we left, and before we did, some of us harvested a little thyme, which is now presumably adding flavour to a nice and warm autumn dish while the rain pours down outside. 🍁🍂

On a sunny but cold October morning (belated signs that Autumn is definitely upon us), 4 GG'ers made their way to the walled garden next to Charlton House. The reason for the gathering was to help the resident CABAHS volunteers with their annual plant sale. This event is high on the CABAHS agenda, with proceedings going to the Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted to the sounds of "We can stop lifting the heavy stuff, GoodGym are here to help!" - good to know that we carry such great reputation! Not wanting to prove the shouts wrong, we quickly set out to carry as many plants in boxes, crates and makeshift containers as we could to their respective pride of place for display to any interested buyers.

Such was our dedication that we were done in 30 mins, leaving us time to admire the plants and even make some phone calls to flatmates to entice them to buy the fruits of our labour. We hope the plant sale is a treemendous success!
