Viv Flora and I spent most of the time picking up litter around Tesco local on the Marlow road. Flora the dog enjoyed sniffing and locating rubbish on route. A satisfying task!

Angela, flora and I cleared rubbish at furze platt Tesco and senior school areas, as we can’t take part in the big pick on Sunday

7 Goodgymers went back to school tonight to help demolish and clear 4 large planters outside the classrooms

It truly was a team effort, with some shovelling soil into wheel barrows and the others taking a run up to the skip to deposit it in, being careful not to fall in with the soil!

An hour quickly flew by and the bell soon rang for the end of class where we gathered up all classmates, admired our handiwork and made our way home

gold stars all round!

Having arrived late from Rickmansworth parkrun, and nearly heading for the wrong location, I eventually joined Sheila, Rachel, Viv and Bradley (welcome to your first task) at out What3Words location.

There had already been a lot of activity despite the rain. One of the regular volunteers, David, had dug the turf up with a whizzy machine, so that we could dig holes and plant bulbs and plants. We planted one section which we then covered with wood chip that some of the team transported over by wheelbarrow.

Karen, Sheila K, Sheila A and Jane helped out at the Baby Bank on another busy morning. As we arrived, the facility was receiving a van-load of buggies which had been abandoned at the airport. Our task was to give them a clean and leave them to dry in the sun. We made short work of it and were rewarded with an indoor job, picking out new toys for 10 children to accompany their Christmas pyjama packs. Karen and Sheila K then earned massive numbers of Brownie points by between them making teas and coffees for the volunteers and doing the washing up afterwards. The remainder of the time was spent putting together clothes and toys for specific referrals. A very productive morning!
