This evening was our final visit to the Meadow Lane playground for 2026. With planting due to take place on Sunday we were in a tight deadline to get compost and ballast moved to prepare the beds.
This was one of those tasks that really put the Gym into Goodgym. We dug out one bed and topped it up with rich (and rather smelly) mushroom compost. The rest of the time was spent filling a fleet of wheelbartows with ballast and ferrying them to other planting areas. Core muscles were engaged, raking was done and we even had to deploy the mini flood lights. The result did make us look a little like were creating or investigating crime scenes.....!!
Our rewards was some gorgeous feedback from Usha and delicious brownies from Celestia which contained black beans, making them a health food.
Congratulations to Angus for your 100th Good Deed!!

We spent a very jolly morning cheering the Oxford half runners and handing out energy gels.
Take aways from the event:
- Red packet energy gels SHOULD be strawberry and NOT apple.
- Glitter makes any running outfit 110% more excellent.
- All runners are epic and inspiring.
- Adding crisps to a sandwich is mandatory behaviour.
Favorite sights: Father Christmas and his reindeer, Mario&Luigi, a 2 person slinky dog and Alice and Ian!
Huge thanks to the whole team but mostly to Muireann for keeping us caffeinated!

We ticked another letter off our parkrun alphabet!
Henry completed his first parkrun this year and Bethan NEARLY went sub 30.
An excellent way to start a Saturday!

This evening we were back at the Meadow Lane playground. It has been so fun and rewarding to be involved in this project! From removing acres of ivy and brambles and unpicking dangerous metal fencing to digging new flower beds and building dens, no task has been left untried by our gaggle of Goodgymers.
Today we made some more progress on the flower bed designs - removing a few pesky roots and then shoveling and spreading loads and LOADS of ballast. A true shoulder and core workout!
We will be back next week for more digging and spreading so that some hardy plants can take root before the winter.
