We wished for a sunny day

But hey! this isn’t May

The relentless ninth still came

And got soaked in the autumn rain

At first there seemed to be no litter

But we just had to dig slightly deeper

The leaves were hiding some treasure

And we expressed our displeasure

Nikki unearthed a Red arrow

And now we have a cleaner borough

Well done to everyone who attended

Your work was totally splendid

The first day of London being put into tier 2 saw some brilliant GoodGym Lambeth runners meet at the Portico Gallery to help patch up some gazebos for the monthly West Norwood Feast.

They had some unlucky weather at the October Feast which put the gazebos to the waterproof test and many of them were in need of a bit of love. A small group of us had helped to mend about three gazebos the week before but this week, armed with more GoodGymmers, we were sure we'd power through loads more.

With Methuselah the cat watching and judging our every move, we set to work taping gazebo after gazebo and piling them up on the side ready to be transported to a new location for next month's use.

Over an hour of hustle and bustle saw us patch up over ten gazebo covers pretty thoroughly so we're feeling sure that even the wettest weather won't see those stalls getting soaked at the November Feast!
