Yet again Mr T had a perfect turn of phrase to describe the mushrooms that I'd bought for him last week in Tesco. To be fair (and not to do down Tesco's mushrooms - other supermarket brands are also available...), he did say that after a couple of days in the fridge, the mushrooms were much softer, and the omelette that he cooked up with them was lovely. I did though note that they were absent from this week's list...

Used the first of my summer Friday hours to tidy up Mr K's yard

6 GoodGymers catch a touch of Sunday nature!

Tucked between the Heath and Highgate Road is a fresh looking school called Parliament Hill, and nestled between the building and the fence is a beautifully cultivated green haven, which was our home for the morning!

Thanks to local volunteers — from a wonderful group called Growing Green — a one-time playing field has been turned into a collection of mini meadows, growing patches, and natural habitats!

And this fabulous group — of DaMarcus, Harvey, Lauren (on their first good deed — welcome!), Leora, and Lydia — made a meaningful difference on multiple fronts and all while chatting up a Sunday morning storm :)

Thank you, everyone! Catch you soon!

10 GoodGymers dodge the Wednesday rain to make a big difference in Camden!

This was our second time in two weeks at Kentish Town's Greenwood Centre and it was a much chillier occasion than last Wednesday's heat soaked evening!

Not that that deterred this lovely group of active altruists!

Together they got stuck straight in and made light work of an ambitious project!

Having filled umpteen sandbags, cut a giant hole in a pot, and positioned a sun-loving tree, this group proceeded to stack the sandbags in neat (yet creative) uniformity, leaving an installation fit for Chelsea!

Thank you, everyone!

As I ran through the very familiar list, Mr T stopped me and said "Mushrooms"...I wasn't too sure what to make of this interjection, but he then explained he had great plans to make an omelette that evening, and the additional ingredient would make a difference - with this late addition to the list it was off to the usual haunts, which seemed quiet for a Friday afternoon - the threat of rain was keeping people indoors perhaps...

Big Waitrose is getting a makeover so ended up being little Sainsbury’s and little Tescos. Got everything plus some bonus eggs. Clubcard discount did the job. Nice chat and ordered her vitamins for her.
