We were back at the Definitely Real Build site clearing a large wood pile to make space for the Green Trail project launch event next week.

After a run to Arbury from town we had a warm welcome onto site, serenaded by 2 very tuneful dogs. We soon got stuck in with Beth and I sorting and shifting the wood, and Scott sawing larger pieces down to size. It was a warm one, and after a pretty sweaty hour, we had the wood store full.

Sawing techniques were sometimes questionable, but it got the job done and we all left unharmed (largely thanks to Scott's inherent carpentry expertise). We can't guarantee the same for a spider and slug who we found having a standoff on one of the logs.

The task prompted us to reminisce about the heady days of school woodwork classes, carefully (yet badly) crafting bird boxes.

As any good session should, we ended with more fuss of adorable dogs before running back to town.

We'll be back for more with Sin Cru next month 🙌

This week, GoodGym Cambridge returned to Jimmy's. This was our second visit and we were delighted to be back at the hatch, helping with the evening meal service 🍽

We started the evening with a 3 km jog around Parker's Piece, where Catherine and Caroline welcomed Christopher to his first GoodGym task! 🙌

The trio then met Nick at the task and the four GoodGymers rolled up their sleeves, donned their aprons and rocked some flattering hairnets ready to dish up dinner. On this evening's menu were a phenomenal shepherd's pie (both meat and veggie), carrots and cauliflower, gravy, and the biggest squares of carrot cake we'd ever seen 🥕

Once everyone had eaten, Catherine and Christopher made light work of the washing up, Nick cleaned all the surfaces and Caroline wrapped up the leftover food. The team had a great time chatting about the weather, politics, work cafés and online followers, and everyone admired Catherine's super new t-shirt 💯

We look forward to our next visit to Jimmy's!
