We were back at St Faith's this evening after a long break and the team seemed pleased to have us back!

Rodney, Eleanor and Judy tackled the litter around the site, finding a number of interesting items, including an abandoned handbag.

The rest of the squad battled the unforgiving bindweed, budlia and general weeds. Two massive Hippo bags were filled in just under an hour. Myself and Dave discovered a chonky wee toad whilst bagging up cuttings, leading to probably the highest pitched squeak I've ever made.

We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and some biscuits courtesy of Jenny and John at the end of the visit. What a lovely evening out!

We welcomed two brand new GoodGymers this evening - Eleanor and Rodney. They both got stuck in with their first ever task - head to their profile to give them a cheer!

Our introductions took a lot longer than normal as we had so many of us along this evening - the most GoodGymers at a task since before lockdown. Jane from BPA struggled to fit everyone in one photo!

We managed to complete three tasks for the price of one - Team A cleared brambles, nettles and branches to make space for our bug hotel, Team B shovelled two tonnes of soil and delivered it the dipping pond area ready for the planting of the wildflower meadow and Team C took on a litter pick.

This task was also our first task of the autumnal season where we've needed crack out the headtorches. I'm going to miss our long summer evenings!

Fantastic work everyone!
