7 GG-ers helped our weeding the tiny forrest under a glittering sky as fireworks went off around us 🎆🎇

Helping put down some cardboard in the orchard to protect the young saplings over winter

A dead-icated group of nine left Glassmill and went over a scary hill and were joined by four more at Seniors where our task was to make Stanstead Lodge Halloween ready!

A cauldron of bats, a coven of witches, a cluster of spiders, a clutter of spiders’ webs and a fraid of ghosts were fixed to walls, windows and ceilings. A terror-ific time was had by all.

We celebrated Jenny’s 500th GoodGym good deed, a real hallow-queen, such an important part of our community.

Afterwards, Vic was an absolute star, making sure that Diane from Seniors locked up safely and got to her bus stop.

Feeling in need of the restorative power of nature! I arranged some time off work to relax & clear my brain - and with recently recovering from Covid, i have not been outside nearly enough!

I spent a lovely few hours re-clearing some of the overgrown paths and enjoying the sunshine coming through the trees.

After a couple of hours of work I enjoyed catching up with the regular volunteers and the new Friday leader, Leigh, as we had lunch outside. We were all very happy to have such great weather after the massive storm yesterday had led to the Thursday session being cancelled. Today was beautiful!

It was tiring afterwards as I have not quite got my usual stamina back yet, but the good, wholesome kind of tired where you have been out in fresh air and worked hard.

A great lead into the weekend and hopefully a good start to getting back into more energetic activities.

Happy. 🥰
