16 Goodgymers attended our Monday session to support our local warden Will, to care for Mousehold Heath, an important local habitat.

Will explained to the group the extent of a recent wild fire and all they were doing to reduce local fire risks.

We split into a 3 groups; one moving a drying pile of old bracken, one group bracken pulling, and one removing pockets of gorse and stumps to support fire engine access routes.

A very warm welcome to Eve and well done for joining your first GoodGym session.

Our biggest group of the year - 19 GoodGymer's assembled at Oxfam store Magdalen Street.

Shout out's to Emma attending her first session, Maddy & Jack returning after a break, and Stephen who completed his 250th session!

In a scene similar to 60 Minute Makeover, Emily gave out the tasks for the evening (clean as much as possible) and the team spread out armed with hoovers, dusters, scrapers, tackling any surface that needed a clean. Even the toilet floors were given a thorough working over!

The floor downstairs was the main target, with dirt marks leaving a trail like foot prints - the big question was who was the culprit?

In a hour we had covered nearly every shelf, table and flooring, leaving the store looking transformed!

Well done team, it was a fantastic effort. Also best wishes to Jordan who moves north next month.

We ventured to a different part of the globe tonight - our first task at Globe Place in Norwich.

8 GoodGymer's walked and cycled to an area in the housing estate that had become very overgrown. Stephen, Sharon & Dawn from LTC Green Spacesmet us with a list of tasks and lots of tools.

We spread out into 2 areas, lopping, chopping, sweeping & scooping, filling wheelbarrows and trugs full of dried branches & weeds. The wheelbarrows were then taken to nearby Somerleyton Gardens (another popular GG task venue) where they will be used as mulch for some large raised beds.

Whilst this was all happening, Rose wandered back and forth carrying watering cans around the site giving everything a good soak... that was a lot of steps well done!

Shout out to Beth for attending her first session! An hour flew by and the difference we made was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Thanks Woody for tonights pun!

Mrs M is a spritely 92 and enjoys looking out over her garden but finds trimming the hedges and feeding the roses tricky so I popped over to help.
