Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)
Credit Frances with the pun, when she eventually found us on her extended walk almost as far as Dame Emily Park before retracing some of those steps to Brunswick Cemetery.
We had bulbs to plant and thistles/other weeds to dig out in a multi-pronged GoodGym Bristol attack alongside some of the Friends of Brunswick Cemetery.
All of a sudden it's definitely dark and we were back to using our big lights as well as head torches to separate weeds from keepers. And the return of the essential role of lamppost person - a speciality of Richard - whilst Caroline, Ed and Phill (who's recovering and being sensible with his return to running) dug the small holes for multiple bulbs and Frances recorded events.
On the other side of the main path, Vaguely Northern Darren and Jason jumped on a big fork to try and get the thistles out and Melanie tried to untangle weeds from the struggling euonymus (or something).
With piles of green waste left for the gardeners to collect, we were soon off back to Workout, except everyone was coming to our monthly Eats (the first Tuesday of the month) at The Coconut Tree for great food, chat and mocktails. And right by the bus stop for those getting a lift home - perfect.

Another weedy street in Southville, another Tuesday evening opportunity for GoodGym Bristol to get stuck in!
Having opted out of glyphosate all year, some of the Southville gutters and pavements are very weedy which can also lead to blocked drains, so manual effort to keep the rainwater flowing is the order of the day.
Sweeping and scraping, a little bit if hacking and the longest, clumpiest piece if weed ever, lots of chat and the odd cat, many gutters and wall edges were all spruced up by the time we were due to run (or walk) away again.
Lits of lively chat sat outside at Workout and then a blast of DIYSOS getting a lorry stuck and the successfully pulling it out - jeopardy indeed.
See tiu all for more next week!
