On Monday evening Goodgym Brent met in Willesden , ready to return to one of our favourite tasks , Clitterhouse Farm House . We warmed up with a short round of dynamic exercises , then set of for a 2.3km run . Josh led the group , with Samina keeping up the pace. Anne Marie and Hannah supported eachother along the way, and Pete and Tabitha dragged along at the back. It was a rollercoaster ride but we made it in one piece , with red faces to match our t shirts .

Anika was eagerly awaiting our arrival , and had a choice of tasks waiting: weeding , pruning rosemary, spreading woodchip, breaking down cuttings for compost and cleaning the greenhouse windows .

We split the tasks and got to it , shortly joined by Kat and Lee who got stuck in immediately

We worked away until we began to lose daylight , stopped for a photo then jogged or walked back

We ended with a drink in Beer & burger and some more chips ... the edible kind

great job everyone !

First group met at Beer & Burger including Tabitha, Pete, Hannah, Josh and Samina. Shaking off the long weekend slumps, the journey to Kingsgate began.

A little sweaty and out of breath, the team meets Ajay at the task location, with Beatriz and Lee also joining.

After a short walk and instruction the gardening team got to work, pruning, sculpting, weeding, and creatively building a floral masterpiece in the garden plots. The end result being so perfect local residents came outside to enquire and offered to water them moving forward.

Feeling fulfilled and content the team started the uphill climb back to consume a well deserved drink and chip or two!

The hottest Monday of the year so far and Hannah and Tabitha were brave enough to run two miles to Abbey Community Centre, our local community centre who always have events going on and are keen for us to help them look their best. You can read about them here :

Here we met Jason , Lee , Beatriz and Anne Mari. A big welcome to Annemari , to her very first Goodgym !

We split into two teams , with one group cleaning chairs , and the second group cleaning the windows until we could see our faces in them .

We posed for a photo , and headed either home or to beer and burger for a Cooldown , chips and chat

Excellent work everyone !!

5 of us went to Mora Primary school to paint. Karen, Pete and Hannah met at Beer n Burger. It was Hannah's very first Goodgym session so a warm welcome Hannah. We did a short warm-up then jogged 2km to Mora Primary school. We took out the mats and paint / brushes which had been left for us. Hannah and Karen proceeded to roller and paint the first corridor wall that we had been assigned while Pete took photos, arranged for more brushes and looked out for Lee and Tania. They both joined shortly after and got stuck in. We painted the corridor walls outside the classrooms in the main hall a lovely magnolia. All very satisfactory. We then cleared up, put our tools away and took a quick group selfie. Tania then went to hers, Lee walked and Karen Hannah and Pete jogged back to B & B. We did a short cool down then stopped for a drink at B & B. Well done everyone.

Lee, Amir and Tabitha made their way to Clitterhouse Farm house on a sun kissed Monday evening .

Four months ago we had turned the compost , on an evening that was anything but sunkissed ... we were soaked !
Check out the rain soaked task here[https://www.goodgym.org/reports/bucketing]

The compost was now ready for use , so we panned it like we were in the west coast gold rush of 1840s, and bagged up the beautiful brown treasure ready for re - use in the garden. Six whole bags of treasure !
