2 GoodGymers ventured into a quiet Exeter to help marshal the Fast Friday City Run. There were 400 runners completing the 10k course with finish times from an amazing 30 minutes upwards. We cheered on our fellow GoodGymer, Laurence who took part.

My task was to mow the lawn for a gentleman who had recently had a heart operation. I got handy with the flymo and then weeded the path and flower beds. He was really pleased to see a tidy garden and will be able to nurture the plants ready for the summer.

Today I was helping Mrs J unload her car, it had been sitting full of old furniture for a few months. I took all the items up to her flat, helped rearrange the living room and had a nice chat over a cuppa. The cat, Sticks, was the supervisor on hand today. No pictures taken as it would have revealed location, but it was lovely to see the extra space I made after :)

This evening the gang were back helping at the secret garden. We helped raise the sides of a pond, strim overgrowth and cut bay tree branches that had started to smother a willow. A huge welcome and thank you to Exeter first-timer Alexis!

Today Lucy and Craig were back offering assistance to distribute the latest addition of west of the river magazine. Now in its third issue we delivered over 400 together with task leader Benji.

I was back out on a sunny Saturday morning helping to do a spot of weeding. The word clearly getting out that we are weeding experts amongst our community! As well as clearing the garden I also unblocked the outside drains and cleared the path. The pics might not show much, but still filled the bag with weeds and garden waste.
