Tonight at GoodGym there was hope in the air about the world cup semi-final....

Before the disappointment of the England game though, we had a great session at Meanwood Valley Farm where we weeded four different areas. Andy, the Head Grower always says what an impact we make in such a short time. These summer sessions have such a great vibe & everyone was on top form.

Welcome to Eliza & Hal tonight, we hope to see you again soon.

Next week, we'll grab those summer drinks after the session. The pubs were far too busy for it tonight.

Two questions were posed tonight:

• Is that a cow or a sheep?

• Are leaks just big spring onions?

The answers to those questions are as follows: Sheep & No, but they re in the same family!

Tonight, we were at Meanwood Farm for wheel hoeing, planting leaks and weeding. We love it down there and always get a good variety of tasks. Surprisingly though, we weren't asked to turn compost for the first time....Helen's disappointment was palpable.

Another great evening, thanks all.

If you know, you know...

I love summer GoodGym nights when the weather is good! Tonight the Leeds gang headed to Beckhill Community Garden to help clear a load of weeds in the orchard area. We cleared a large space & it really opened the space up. It's now ready for scouts & school children to come into the space without getting nettled.

My little dogs provided cuddles & entertainment which I think everyone enjoyed.

Well done to Joao who completed his 10th good deed last night & to Jason on his 90th! Amazing! We also said goodbye to Ross tonight, who is going on his travels. Good luck Ross!

What an amazing group we had this evening with 9 newcomers all joining us!

We headed to Bedford Fields for lots and lots of weeding! It was lucky we had 22 people, because for an hour, all we did was pull out the sticky weed & bindweed & although we made a good dent in it, there's always more weeding to do.

We found the strangest thing amongst the weeds, a pair of false teeth! Now that's a new one.

Welcome to James, Joanne, Lukas, Emily, Fabiha, Aden, Abi, James & Deepa! And thanks to Erica for bringing more work colleagues! We hope to see you all again soon.

On day 3 of our camping trip, after Jason's breakfast station nearly blew Helen away, we headed first for breakfast at North Yorkshire Water Park & then to start our activities.

Half the group braved the wind on the lake for a relaxing canoe ride, the rest of the group were not so relaxed....

We put on our wetsuits to tackle the inflatable obstacle course on the lake. Monkey bars, high drops, slides & climbing frames were all part of the fun & I don't think I've laughed so much in ages! Alice was the surprise superwoman of the group, tackling high drops & climbing frames with ease, I however bottled the high jump & did the slide instead.

What a great way to finish the trip. We all stuck together & helped each other as we went. All in all, a great team building experience!

This weekend was our annual camping trip & it was certainly a varied & fun weekend!

Tent drama, a beautiful camp site, park running, hiking, camp fire fun, toasted marshmallows, a trip to the pub, tiredness, silliness, moodiness, happiness, swimming in the sea, canoeing, warrior madness, a picnic, Ice cream eating pigeons & team bonding!!!! Phew...it may take a few days to recover.

I feel so lucky to be part of such an amazing group of people, thanks all for your contributions to the weekend. To the drivers, Jubz & Alice for giving me a bed, for Jason's legendary breakfast station, for Jubz & Adam's spare tents & to newcomers Aorvi & Ishleen (what an initiation) & for everyone supporting and helping each other.
