Another enjoyable social gardening club with St Margaret's House. In this visit it was time to harvest the lavender and sort the leaf mulch cages ahead of the mulberry tree leaves dropping.

There was a bumper amount of lavender and with the sun shining out the front, it made for a fine spot to volunteer. Sam had to dash off early to see Odyssey (again) and Emma stayed on, getting into a crafty swing of weaving the lavender into decorative baskets.

Next month's social gardening club is on Wednesday 23rd September between 4-7pm.

So I had loads of GoodGym leaflets, inherited from our former guru Laura, that were burning a hole in my pocket. Ot at least, filling a drawer in my desk. A better place for these was surely on local people’s doormat, to let more people know of the joys of GoodGym. We also had something to do after ParkRun and coffee

We were in good spirits having already recruited a new person at that very ParkRun and coffee session. And Sam took the opportunity to promote his https://legstumsruns.com/ fitness sessions with leaflets of his own

I’d spotted a number of streets behind Stepney Green station with individual front doors all along – none of those hard-to-penetrate tower blocks. The letter boxes, however were varied – some had brushes inside which made it an effort to force leaflets through; while others had a pleasing swing to them, making delivery far easier

By the time we’d finished, we’d covered about eight streets and a square, making sure everyone in the area was aware of GoodGym. Meanwhile, we couldn’t help but be aware of a local dog-walking organisation, who’s leafletters had been there ahead of us but seemingly couldn’t be bothered actually pushing the adverts through the letterboxes
