Second Monday of the month means GoodGym Richmond signature evening: jog to our sponsored plot, 10 min bodyweight workout, task and then pub. A lovely evening to look forward roneach month.

The riverside was lively this evening with all kinds of characters as we gardened, squatted, watered, lunged and destroying the large hop plant that had been causing skin irritation.

All of which thoroughly deserved a little drink at the White Cross, well done all!

Lots of goodgymers from all different areas joined in this year's Butterfly Count to provide data that could be complied to protect these different species of butterflies thrive and grow. It was also a good excuse to get out and about, to help our fellow animals

A hot evening did not stop a hot effort from all six GoodGymmers this evening who put everything into the vast garden at St Christopher's Fellowship in East Twickenham.

Cutting back, weeding, turning over soil, strimming and sweeping were the order of the evening, across the front and back gardens. But this evening the most stark divide was not front and back but other side of the garden's own fox superhighway: a visible path across the lawn where foxes travel every night! We took our photo along this smart motorway and I'm sure the team were happy it only involved silly walking and not fox impressions!

This weekend's visit to the 3Ps had 4 GGers who were greeted by a fresh minty smell on a glorious summer day.

They were tasked with keeping the plot in mint-condition. This included dead heading and the removal of weeds as well as a general tidy up, which both Jenna and Manuela kept on top of.

While Sabina and Adam filled up the watering cans from the River Thames and ensured that the plot kept looking minty fresh and mint-ained high spirits in the process!
