Tonight 10 GoodGymer's headed to 35th Sea Scouts in Mousehold.
The original plan had been to spray paint tyres that would be used as planters. But with rain falling heavily during the day we decided to focus on the outdoor grounds instead.
The sun came out as we looked out over one of the best views of the city below us. The team spread out to pull up bracken that had sprung up amoungst the wild flowers and fennel. In an hour we had filled 15 bags and left them underneath the sheltered storage area.
It was great to be back here, and we hope to return when the venue is next available.

4 Goodgymers today helped our friends at Wild Lakenham in their Orchard and meadow. A group were clearing the orchard with the sythes while others cleared up the cut pieces. 2 of us walked to the meadow and planted 7 Teasel plants, clearing a space to dig a hole, plant them then collecting water from the river to water them in. After an hours hard work we were treated to refreshments. Thank you Wild Lakenham..

This morning 3 GoodGymer's cycled to the Green Hearts Allotment to help Lucy and Diem clear ground and pull up grasses to get it ready for planting.
Despite some rain we managed to achieve a fair amount. There were a couple of very young walnut tree saplings which were put into pots to be grown on.
Diem kindly provided delicious cake and coffee for us afterwards, as we took shelter from a downpour at the end of the task.

Tonight 8 GoodGymer's joined 14 residents at Alfred Nichol Court for a Quiz Night!
While running 6km to the venue on a warm evening, we found a man lying on the floor, so we stopped to check he was ok and helped him onto his feet.
After arriving we split into 3 teams to test our knowledge of Geography, Cuisine, Famous Faces & Movie One-liners. Stopping for a break halfway for tea & biscuits.
Once the results were in, we announced the winning team - 'All the gear, no-eye-deer'! Taking home the winning prize, a scented candle!
It was a great evening bringing local residents together. Hopefully we will be back for another social evening in a few months time.
