Pete and Dennis ran down from willesden green to Queen's Park where we met Tania and collected the qpcc booklets. We walked to Harrow Road then posted the leaflets in letterboxes of the flats. Tania and Dennis managed to get into a large block and posted to 30 letterboxes there. We posted all of the leaflets and took photos. Advertising fireworks, the Christmas festival and more. Plenty of exercise and news delivered. Good task and job well done. ✔️

Sabina, Alicia, Tabitha and Pete met at Beer n Burger warmed up and jogged to Clitterhouse Farm where they met up with Lee and Anika. Anika quickly assigned our roles watering, sorting pots and moving woodchip. Alicia and Lee did a great job shovelling and moving woodchip in wheelbarrows, joined later by Tabitha who started by sorting pots. Pete and Sabina filled watering cans and watered the front beds and then the herb garden. We all then jogged and walked back to base. Great job. The Clitterhouse Farm garden is definitely feeling better tonight!

It was my second visit to Mrs S’s house, and this time I had the pleasure of working in her backyard. What a wonderfully fruitful little garden it is! It has an amazing variety of fruit trees and bushes, including pears, blackberries, gooseberries and cherries. I cleared the garden path and did some weeding, helping to make the space a little tidier and easier to enjoy. It was satisfying to see the difference after a bit of hard work. As always, the visit ended with a lovely little chat with Mrs S. Another rewarding GoodGym session, combining a bit of exercise, gardening and good company!

Chris, Dennis, Alicia and Pete met at Beer n Burger, we welcomed Alicia whose first time it was at Goodgym Brent! We did a short warm-up then jogged to Kilburn Grange Park where we met Kamil and Ajay. We collected garden refuse bags and tools, proceeded to the rose garden then raked dry leaves and put them in the bags and loosened the soil around the roses in preparation for some much needed rain.

We put the tools back and dragged the full bags to the garden truck at the end.

A great job. Kamil and Dennis left from the park, Alicia, Chris and Pete jogged back for a quick drink after.

We had a great time clearing out her front garden and chatting with her for a while. Can’t believe she’s almost 90 - she’s got a great spirit and was a lovely person to help on this beautiful day! Will hopefully be able to help her clear her back yard next as it’s a lot to tackle!
