It’s great to help the winter night shelter, originally mattress moving and for the last few years turning the B&B back to its normal purpose for the six months until next time.
This time I specialised in cleaning the individual holes in the backs of the bedroom chairs as well as getting room 2 spick and span for painting tomorrow.

This evening's GoodGymmers were rewarded with a lovely sunset as we ran and walked to Faithspace in Redcliffe to collect the tools and trolleys for the night's path laying.
Last time we'd had days of heavy rain and were glad of the light drizzle, tonight was drier and didn't the turf know it! We seemed to have found a particularly rocky patch which Marky had marked (so Marky-ed, I guess) as the next path joining the planters. There's already been lots of positive feedback about how much easier it is to get to the planters and beyond.
The gravel is a special "self-binding" type which makes for marvellous non-shedding paths and, when its been left a few weeks, a solid lump in dumpy sack.
Once the edges had been marked and knived (?), we split into ground-chiselling and gravel-chillesing teams, definitely a tough workout tonight. Many different strategies were tried with the top methods proving to be stabbing with a big fork for gravel breaking and sitting uphill and spading downhill for turf lifting (called sods, for anyone wondering). We are so creative and adaptive.
Perseverence paid off, the new path was given its preliminary stomp, catwalk-style and flavoured water was enjoyed. Laura and Vaguely Northern Darren headed off for a longer run back whilst the rest of us finished off, tidied up and took the tools back to Marky's workshop.
Top path-making, team!

Lots of bird boxes constructed by the kids at Dame Emily Park (and a few of the parents) so the small birds can have new social housing for cheep rent!

As well as the (now standard) path edge finding and sycamore sapping pulling. Today was the day that the bindweed had started to show and can start being tackled for another flipping year!

A poem this will be.
Take a look at the photos.
You’ll see the odd tree
Seven GoodGymmers met this Sunday.
For yet another fun day
We emptied a hole and filled another.
We even found some carpet mother!
A difference we did make.
Time for some tea and cake
This poem is done.
I might now have a cinnamon bun?
Until next time…
