There is a true "tomb" romance between Goodgym Ealing St Mary's church : we were back for more weeding and clearing the tombs around the church. Todays group run became a group walk as only 1 runner and it was quite close so plenty of time to get the the church. Jo cycled to the church and Harvey ran to meet the walking "dead" at the church - dont believe everything I say as the walkers were really alive.

Welcome to Neal and Max for their 1st session. We carried on from our last session here by weeding and doing a great tidy up left and right of where we left it last time as we were 8 - so 2 groups of 4. This avoided us walking on each others "bones". Divide to better conquer the bramble territory. We also removed a lot of broken glass between the tombs but also near the path near the church.

The tomb raiders did a great job today. Well done team.

Another month and several Goodgymers stuck to their "litter pickers" to remove trash off the streets of their borough. Usual trash with loads of bottles probably due to the hot weather.

Keep the good work up team.

Goodgym were back to help UFO s -Urban Fox Orchestra Steelband break down the carnival truck after Notting Hill carnaval. Maria and Steph Ducat braved the wind to help with the steel arms - steelpans, drum and other equipment had to be taken down for the high truck and put back in storage. The crew gave us a warm welcome and in no time the truck had a different look than when it arrived after the carnival. The 2 Goodgymers have arms of steel - lifting and lowering the steel drums then wheeling then to the storage in Acton

Another Session in Mrs A back garden : found more golf balls, a winnie the Poo ball, a bicycle wheel, a trolley, a hand made trolley used in the garage and a bench that we just made free of the bindweed and brambles. Bench engraved for Mrs A brother. We now have a clear path to the back and now we can see the slabs that were put there ages ago. Green way to the back garden. Mrs A will be able to sit on the bench when she comes out of hospital

Alan cycled and Steph Ducat ran to Acton Junior parkrun where both were marshalling this Sunday. As I was early I had the pleasure to put together the table. We had a few speedy children this morning and the girls beat the boys to the finish line. 1st and 2nd position for the girls. well done to all runners and walkers.

Weekly visit at Mr T and our usual chat. Today mainly about foods from the world.
