6 GG besties were giving absolute slaps vibes as they gave the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve a bussin' glow up. We stan <3

Ok Storytime

The Westbury Banks Nature Reserve took living its best brat summer a bit too seriously, leaving it looking a little cheugy. No cap, it was absolute rank. Big yikes.

Our GG Fam jumped into action, full of rizz and drip. Gramps took a quick vibe check from this bunch of absolute snacks and we were then ready for some action.

We were clearing the overgrown trees on the steps by the side of the Reserve, which were in mad need of a proper trim. The secateurs understood the assignment but it was the giant snippy snips with their BDE that saved the evening.

Time to spill the tea. Latoya was giving proper main character vibes and got well salty with Gramps over a little joke about spiders. It didn't help when he had a proper situationship with a smol arachnid towards the end of the task. Fam is fam, however, and by the end of the eve we were all besties again. Bet.

Finna bring this to an end, so let's just say that once we were done, we all decided it was time for some rehydration so we went to a boujee tavern for drinks

This evening ATE.

Hit us up next week as we help the Meadow Orchard with a squirrel scouts space. Sus.

Goodgym Haringey got together last night with a very special purpose in mind - to celebrate a departed friend, whose love for life, disposition for a good laugh, and thirst for just a few more Ks was intoxicating and contagious. The thing about death is that it doesn't care about fairness and sometimes it takes from us people who just had too much damn living ahead of them, leaving those of us still around with such a deep sense of loss. Nurj knew this and last time I saw her at the hospital, she made me promise her in that matter-of-factly kind of way of hers that I needed to make sure her Goodgym lot as she called us would be ok afterwards because after all she wouldn't be around to do so. Bloody strong to the end, our Nurj.

So, as a way of keeping a promise, the Goodgym Haringey family decided to bring some new life into this wonderful London borough that she so loved. We planted a baby tree, which will be around for many years to come, and where us Goodgymmers can go and share a quick laugh or the latest juicy goss with Nurj. A Royal Beauty by name, this tree will be all colours and fancy things as seasons change so we know Nurjehan would have approved. And also, as her Goodgym lot got together last night for the customary rummage through a community garden on a lovely warm Wednesday evening at the end of another Summer season, sharing a laugh, some memories, and some tears, I know she would have smiled at her favourite Goodgym in the country and felt proud. We'll never stop missing you on Wednesday evenings, good friend.
