Today, in glorious sunshine we headed to Bedford Fields to build a new greenhouse. Helen followed the instructions & I was her assistant:)

I brought my two little dogs but it was a little hot for them & they were desperate to be the centre of attention as usual.

Tonight we said goodbye to our friend Christian who's moving back to Nigeria. Where will we be without our very own GoodGym Leeds superman, the fittest of us all, the hardest working, photo dodging, fruit eating machine?! Christian, I speak for all of us when I say we're going to miss you so much! We look forward to hearing about your new journey wearing your Yorkshire flat cap!!!

We ran to Left Bank tonight to wash many wedding chairs. The production line worked with everyone washing, Adam steaming, Katie & I drying & Helen organising it all! Then we got to finish off with a pint & present giving ceremony for Christian. He got his flat cap, Yorkshire mix sweets & tea bags as well as a card with pictures of all his best bits!

It was great to welcome so many newcomers too. Joao, Sourav, Jacob, Amara & Sarah thanks for coming & we hope to see you again soon.

We spent a lovely Saturday morning today back at Beeston Primary School sorting out their outdoor area. We did the same last spring but it was very overgrown again after winter. We weeded & cleared up & after only an hour it looked loads better. Hopefully the children can get back out there now. A toad took me by surprise near the pond...I'm unsure who leaped further, me or it!

What a great night!

On a beautiful sunny, spring day, with everyone in great spirits, we all ran to Beckhill Community Garden (without getting lost) & met Lynn for the first time this year.

It was woodchip Wednesday, so half the group got to work moving piles of woodchip...Christian found a method that worked by tossing it over his shoulder! The other half weeded around the beds.

The garden is about to show at a flower show in Harrogate....this little garden has completely transformed under Lynn's leadership...Well done!!

It was boys vs girls tonight as we split into two groups to leaflet to OWLS service users around Headingley & Burley.

The girls did just under 7K & were happy to bump into the boys group just as they were finishing. We dragged them around to finish with us (I bet they wish they hadn't seen us)!!! Thanks to Christian & Adam who took the last ones to finish off on their way home.

It was so nice to do a task in the light tonight....Hello Spring!!

It was also good to welcome back Fay & Katie.

Great work team!

Tonight, the gang met Nilesh from Headingley Neighbourhood Watch to do some more graffiti clearing on North Lane.

We used paint remover on some of it, scraped flyers off bins & painted the telephone boxes & bins.

Lydia, Rachael & I painted a bin that had graffiti all over it but we were slightly worried as the green paint was slightly brighter than the old paint & it then didn't match the other bins in the area...oh well, we think it looked good, even if no one else does!!!

Kat did her 100th good deed tonight! What a great achievement, thanks for all you do for GoodGym Kat & well done.
