Christmas Take Down

Saturday 6th December

Written by Laura Grant

On a cold and dark evening, 4 Good Gymmers arrived to return the farm to normal operations following the day’s Christmas festivities. We developed an efficient system for taking down gazebos, carrying tables to the local church hall and dismantling an extremely large marquee. After all that effort, there was just enough time for a cup of warm mulled apple juice before heading out into the December night.

Folarin's back!

Saturday 6th December

Written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)

It's been a while since I last saw Folarin, so it was a pleasure to see him after many months. Of course, we helped SE5 Forum setup their stall from 09:30 - 10:00. We put up the gazebo, tables and displays.

It's a bin-teresting day out!

Wednesday 26th November

Written by Isaac Beevor (He/him)

We did a fun litter pick in the Goldsmith Nature Reserve in Peckham. All sorts was collected by the team with a huge 4 bags of litter removed from the Nature Garden in 35 minutes.

The garden was less enchanting than Tom's midnight garden, although if we had stayed until the witching hour who knows how it would have come alive!?

On the way back we were plogging - running and litter picking, although some were better at that than others.

A little chaotic, a little cold but we all had a good time and it did feel like the Nature Garden has a lot less litter now.
