A super hot Bank Holiday Sunday sun shone down on 8 Goodgym-ers at Mycenae House & Gardens in Greenwich for today's community mission.
Unfortunately, a mix-up meant the usual team from the organisation weren't there to direct us, so the task couldn't go ahead as expected. Always prepared though, we turned the mission into an impromptu litterpick, both in the garden & surrounding roads, chattering about running, goodgym, ice cream, and of course the inevitable topic of the weather!
Ending our morning at the lovely Greenwich Pleasaunce for an ice cream, it was time to say au revoir & have a great rest of the weekend! A big GoodGym Welcome to Tom on your first task! โญ
Note from Rachel: Completely my fault, sorry everyone - the actual date for the task is next week: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/helping-at-mycenae-gardens-67018f9d-7640-4245-ae99-dce473021b07
On Wednesday we're gardening at St Alfege's Primary School: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/gardening-at-st-alfege-primary-school-beaa8fad-7bcb-435e-9ef8-58e227127026
Until next time!

Eight GoodGymers headed to beautiful Morden College, a residential home for older people, last night for an evening task that quickly became one of our favourites yet.
Meeting at Charlton House our ice breaker question was: 'If money were no object, where would you retire?' Answers ranged from Australia, Miami, Tenerife and London...and by the end of the evening, several of us had of course changed our answers to Morden College ๐
Special welcome to the crew to Mark on your first good deed with us - lovely to meet you and hope to see you back again soon!
After a 3km run, Meryl and Zoe from Morden College welcomed us warmly as we got stuck into sweeping the pathway and pruning the hedges outside the grounds. Lots of passers-by stopped to thank us while we worked, always a lovely reminder of how much these small acts matter. A section of the pathway is now looking much clearer and we'll be back to continue the job!
After the task, things got even better. Barry very kindly opened the bar specially for us, and we enjoyed a couple of rounds chatting away in the garden as the sun went down. Absolute bliss.
Weโd love to come back soon to this haven in blackheath to continue along the pathway and maybe even help out in the beautiful gardens themselves, building planters for the veggies!
Next week we're gardening at St Alfege's School in Greenwich.
This bank holiday weekend, we've got:
Volunteering at Parkrun and Junior Parkrun
Until next time, wonderful people!
