It felt like no time since we were last at The Albany! It had only been a couple of weeks but on this visit we had a bigger task to tackle...shifting lots of woodchip that had been kindly donated to The Albany.

We split into groups and rotated through the roles of shoveling, wheelbarrowing and path creating. It was very satisfying to see the pile of woodchip slowly but surely reducing in size but what was even more satisfying was joining up the paths!!

It wasn't long before we'd shovelled as much woodchip as we could and made lots of new paths.

The last time we created a path at The Albany was many moons ago when we all looked quite a bit younger and before some people had even discovered GoodGym! We featured on BBC Breakfast for that path creation! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G3fKxb6Mcz0&pp=ygUVR29vZGd5bSBiYmMgYnJlYWtmYXN0

Next week we're off to Lewisham Unity with a stop off at the Catford Christmas Tree

We did a fun litter pick in the Goldsmith Nature Reserve in Peckham. All sorts was collected by the team with a huge 4 bags of litter removed from the Nature Garden in 35 minutes.

The garden was less enchanting than Tom's midnight garden, although if we had stayed until the witching hour who knows how it would have come alive!?

On the way back we were plogging - running and litter picking, although some were better at that than others.

A little chaotic, a little cold but we all had a good time and it did feel like the Nature Garden has a lot less litter now.
