Kingston upon Thames Report written by Emma Crowe
Good things come to those that wait.
Normally our run reports are accompanied by dramatic before and after shots showing the transformation we’ve brought about. But I’m afraid proof of this week’s labour won’t be evident until the Spring when the 70 bulbs we planted in the new Goodgym Kingston flower bed, at Canbury Gardens, finally push their way through the soil!
We began as usual at our Quaker Centre meeting point and were grateful to Rachel and first time GoodGymer Lily who opted to walk and carry the tools and bulbs, while the rest of us ran to the riverside garden.
There Julie, Nina, Doris, Lily, Dave and Emma got stuck in (planting by head torch as the sun quickly set) the mixture of narcissus, daffodil, allium and tulip bulbs, while Claire and Rachel fetched water for the small plants and shrubs which Goodgymers had planted in the flower bed on Saturday.
It was a shorter run back as somehow we covered almost 4km getting to the site! Welcome to Lily and lovely to see Nina back for task 2. Can’t wait till April time when the hidden gems will hopefully appear!

Kingston upon Thames Report written by Julie
A fun visit to the British Heart Foundation this morning to help Christine sort a mountain of clothes they had been kindly donated from a TV company. Rachel, Doris and Julie got started started working through the bags of clothes, carefully hanging each item ready for the shop floor. We worked through the treasure trove of trousers, skirts, jumpers and shirts until we'd run out of hangers. We filled four big clothes rails full if items, and made a good dent in the mountain of bags - now looking less like Everest and more like Ben Nevis! It's always a fun and rewarding task here and we're already looking forward to our next visit.
