Adam got to try a new tool tonight...an extra long tree branch cutter (not it's official name). Needless to say, he was very pleased & is fast getting a reputation as our resident tool operator.

We were cutting the weeping willow tree branches to use them to wrap them around & protect the new fruit trees. This was not as easy as it looked & we made slow progress but our newcomers did manage to finish one off. Helen & Katie trimmed tomatoes & we also did a bit of weeding.

We even managed to avoid most of the rain, the runners got a bit wet, but mostly it stayed dry.

We had 4 lovely new members tonight, welcome to Trish, Kevin, Heidi & James. We hope to see you again soon.

This afternoon, we had a beautiful time swimming & paddleboarding at Pool Bridge Farm near York. It's such a gorgeous spot.

Helen & I got stuck in 2 hours of traffic on route but it was so worth it for the ice cream, the exercise, the picnic & the lovely company. Best of all...no one drooped the oar! A successful trip all in all :)

It was nice to see Hope again & to meet Kieran.

What a great evening we've had with the GoodGym Leeds gang tonight.

Compost moving, weeding & laying membrane were the name of the game up at OWLS allotments. There were also discussions about ants, cricket, musicals, football & Carole.

We then headed to Heart for a drink afterwards & discussed Sarah's interview tomorrow at BBC Radio Leeds where she'll be talking all things GoodGym. We can't wait to listen Sarah!

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.

What a lovely evening! In very humid weather, Helen led us up to Bedford Fields with a bit of Japanese style slow jogging...we got in formation & recreated the craze (& felt like proper wally's).

We met the rest of the gang at Bedford & got to work clearing the stones from the path. We then weeded the edges to finish the job.

We spent a lot of time chatting tonight...it was too hot to work. That's our excuse anyway!

Well done to Rachael on her 105th task tonight.
