On Saturday afternoon we were back at the Windmill helping out with some gardening tasks. We had a great work out weeding around the playground, tiding up the footpath, moving a giant sleeper, chopping back a massive bush, picking up some litter and making the whole garden look fantastic. After and hour and a half we were all exhuasted but the garden looked great, so we rehydrated with a glass of homemade elferflower cordial.

Another successful session at Brixton Windmill where we did a whole selection of jobs!

• Dom (a goodgym newbie 🙌) and Matt headed off to the shade to dig up a selection of berry bushes as there were too many.
• Karen and Esse set to work weeding around the children’s play area.
• Sam and I trimmed a bush (that was not home to any birds) to make it look a bit tidier.
• Esse and Sam uncovered the bottom of some small trees ready to be fed.

After a bit more than an hour in the sun we headed off home, or in Sam’s case mission no3 of the day 🚀

Count down to open day is ticking down! This week we had all sorts of jobs - assembling flat pack furniture, painting the loo floors, weeding, scraping moss, another coat of paint for the kitchen and a good clean of the entrance.

We had ELEVEN folks from Goodgym join this morning. And every last person got stuck in, under the supreme direction of Kim and Lyndsey.

Matt was seriously under pressure, with a malfunctioning, temperamental water pressure hose contraption. Those walls in the courtyard garden are begging for a pressure wash. And by jove I believe Matt fixed it!

Thanks Lavender Hope - we’ll be back!
