Good weather and a great team of GoodGymmers and local volunteers meant oodles of progress in the outside green space, clearing ivy, looping and copping trees and shrubs and unearthing a LOT of litter and recycling, including a bowl to add to the growing "found crockery" collection.

Fabulous to have Sasha join us for her first session, hopefully the first of many!

Delicious soup for the volunteers finished off the session with the aches setting in after sitting down for lunch. Spring is definitely here.

Sunday at The Green House for more nature-supporting tidying - dead hedging, leaf mulching, litter-picking goodness as the outside gets tidier for some community events. And Jana found a very useful mallet.

Then coffee.

First dry day of the year (at least it feels that way) - and it was even sunny!

We got to work cutting and scything the bramble risings at the entrance to the orchard. These were then raked and cleared into the surrounding borders, keeping the space accessible and encouraging wildflower growth.

A diverse range of conversation topics covered "Zoology - is it just remembering a list of animals?", "Should your barber also be your surgeon?" and "Anatomical enhancement for the purpose of ski jumping".

We finished with Orchard apple juice, listened to nesting Ravens and watched a robin enjoy our newly exposed orchard pantry.

A short video of our morning

No big green super beings today ( see slightly tenuous report title) but there was the continuation of cutting the large amount of brambles away from the path to get on with.

After a while we turned our attention to moving the humongous amount of junk up to a collection point further up the steps. It is incredible what people leave! From a bar stool to the top of a lamppost… anyway after an hour or so we called time and after the traditional chocolate biscuit (I went Twix) we headed off to the next task.

Until next time…
