Today we welcomed a lovely new GoodGymer, Rachel, to the task. Seasoned GoodGym-weeders, Leanne and Elle, felt a bit strange asking Rachel to take weeds out of the crazy paving only to then plant marigolds in their place! However, in Leanne's legendary words: "We just do what we are told!" As for the selfie, by now, it's just about what everyone expects from Elle's selfie skills. (However, the second photo is one of my favourites of Leanne to date and it's been added to my volunteers' photo portfolio.)

Tonight we were back at the Arts Barge to help them do some jobs to get the barge ready for spring.

We had one group working on the boat doing a bit of problem solving sawing up rectangles of polystyrene to fit the inside of the boat for insulation.

The rest of the gang were tasked with tidying up on land. Michael, Jane and Nick were quick to volunteer to build a fire yo burn unwanted wood. Kit and Ben took it in turns to power wash the stones with a very big hose! Everyone else used various tools to weed between the cobbles.

We finished with a group pic then headed off to Tower Gardens for a Jenna speciality fitness. This involved moving around then getting in different sized groups to make a human sculpture! GG imagination at its best - we had a beehive, a barge, a snail, normal and sophisticated!

It was then back to base and off to the pub for some!
