It was time to turn the compost again at Hoxton Garden and a 6 strong team of GoodGymmers were on hand to do the job. On the team were two first timers - Torrey and Miret who embaced the task and spirit of GoodGym with enthusiasm - and two intrepid travellers from west London - Kamil and Harvey.

The team worked across 5 composts heaps, each at varying stages of decomposition. Team Soil (Miret and Torrey) worked with the most advanced compost heaps, which was relatively easy to turn, while Team Twigs and Leaves (Dan and Kamil) had the harder task of turning more bulky matter. Harvey did an excellent job of supporting whichever team needed the most help and advice, while developed theories of composting and phd thesis proposals.

Many hands made light work and soon the job was done. The team left Hoxton Gardens, lifted by their connection with the earth and the sun on their faces.

Our GoodGym gang defo got the tutu memo - the dressage was out in impressive force. Extra cudos must go to Sevan for making not one but two tutus (sorry!) and Maria for bagging a bin bag tutu!

The kids may not have got the tutu memo, probably because they don’t know what a memo is. But 50 runners got the message to show up and run round Pitshanger Park - bravo!

It wasn’t just a tutu day, it was also a marshal day, timekeeper day and tailwalker day. The latter featuring a pirouetting Stef, still quite taken by sporting his tutu.
