After a week of Water (loo) falling from the sky, we were grateful for a calm, dry day today, when Love Shined a Light on 5 goodgym-ers, meeting the Friends of Charlton Pet Cemetery for a multitude of tasks. Eins...Zwei...Drei...Go 🎵

One Step In rather than Out of Time, one group used scaper tools to clean the borders between the paving slabs, while others followed, sweeping away lots of dust & general debris. The high-powered hedge trimmer singing its Lonely Synphony created swathes of foliage for us to clear away too, giving Edward Scissorhands a run for his money!

Our final task involved cleaning the stones set into the pathways, commemorating the much loved and missed 4-legged friends remembered in the Cemetery. The impact was immediately noticeable, making the inscriptions much clearer after a good scrub and hose down. A reminder that You're Not Alone.

Photo time, and time for us Children of the Universe to move on, after a great community mission. In hectic weekend of cup finals & song contests, it's Just a Little Bit refreshing to be involved with tasks like these. Thank you all until next time! 😊

Last night brought us to Plumstead, some of us running by the river, others walking and meeting us at the location for our glamorous task of litter picking a particularly grotty spot. Good deeds definitely earned for this one! Thankfully the rain held off and we busily collected a whopping 28 bags of bottles, wrappers, and oddly some hair? It's surely Incredibles what 11 commited GoodGymers can achieve in a short space of time - great work everyone.

A huge welcome back to Kevin, who has already smashed FOUR tasks since joining last week 👏 and big cheers to Hope on your second GGG group run, great to have you with us again!
