Two questions were posed tonight:
Is that a cow or a sheep?
Are leaks just big spring onions?
The answers to those questions are as follows: Sheep & No, but they re in the same family!
Tonight, we were at Meanwood Farm for wheel hoeing, planting leaks and weeding. We love it down there and always get a good variety of tasks. Surprisingly though, we weren't asked to turn compost for the first time....Helen's disappointment was palpable.
Another great evening, thanks all.

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

On a hot hot hot evening, Rachael led the team on a chatty, sweaty jog along the ridge up to Bedford Fields. They weeded, wood chipped & ate gooseberries in the shade.
Thanks to Rachael for leading & to everyone else for turning up in this heat!
Welcome to Christopher who completed his first session.

What an amazing group we had this evening with 9 newcomers all joining us!
We headed to Bedford Fields for lots and lots of weeding! It was lucky we had 22 people, because for an hour, all we did was pull out the sticky weed & bindweed & although we made a good dent in it, there's always more weeding to do.
We found the strangest thing amongst the weeds, a pair of false teeth! Now that's a new one.
Welcome to James, Joanne, Lukas, Emily, Fabiha, Aden, Abi, James & Deepa! And thanks to Erica for bringing more work colleagues! We hope to see you all again soon.

On day 3 of our camping trip, after Jason's breakfast station nearly blew Helen away, we headed first for breakfast at North Yorkshire Water Park & then to start our activities.
Half the group braved the wind on the lake for a relaxing canoe ride, the rest of the group were not so relaxed....
We put on our wetsuits to tackle the inflatable obstacle course on the lake. Monkey bars, high drops, slides & climbing frames were all part of the fun & I don't think I've laughed so much in ages! Alice was the surprise superwoman of the group, tackling high drops & climbing frames with ease, I however bottled the high jump & did the slide instead.
What a great way to finish the trip. We all stuck together & helped each other as we went. All in all, a great team building experience!

This weekend was our annual camping trip & it was certainly a varied & fun weekend!
Tent drama, a beautiful camp site, park running, hiking, camp fire fun, toasted marshmallows, a trip to the pub, tiredness, silliness, moodiness, happiness, swimming in the sea, canoeing, warrior madness, a picnic, Ice cream eating pigeons & team bonding!!!! Phew...it may take a few days to recover.
I feel so lucky to be part of such an amazing group of people, thanks all for your contributions to the weekend. To the drivers, Jubz & Alice for giving me a bed, for Jason's legendary breakfast station, for Jubz & Adam's spare tents & to newcomers Aorvi & Ishleen (what an initiation) & for everyone supporting and helping each other.

Nettle stings, berry tasting & weeding were the name of the game last night. We headed up to one of our favourite places, Beckhill Community Garden at the back of Stainbeck United Reformed Church. It's a beautiful space & Lynn has worked wonders with the garden over the last 2 years.
We were weeding & watering & Lynn messaged afterwards saying what a difference we had made. Adam tried a gooseberry for the first time but I don't think he appreciated it! Alice & I both got nettled...now you know you've been to GoodGym if you're stung by something at the end of the evening!
Welcome to Esther on her first session & welcome back to Joanna who has had a long break. We hope to see you all both soon.
