Lewisham Report written by Linda Gatley
The hardest part of today’s good deed was finding our way through the jumble in Mr R's shed to locate the bed frame we’d been asked to move indoors… this involved first removing the shed doors! The belongings stored inside meant the doors couldn’t slide open, so Ian and Linda had to undo the fixings and lean the doors inwards before lifting them out of the way. Then it was easy to uncover the bed frame and carry it carefully, section by section, up to the bedroom where it will provide Mr R with a more comfortable place to sleep. We of course re-attached the shed doors afterwards!

Lewisham Report written by Kim Parker
Our task for this week was to continue the double digging at the Tiny Forest in Ladywell Fields. It's a tough workout and the soil has become full of stones as we have got further towards the end.
I had sold the group run on the fact we'd be driving in the fence posts with the fancy tool only to find Isaac had beat us to it! Great work Isaac, we should have spent less time chatting at Glass Mill.
We split into groups, as many as possible forming a line to tackle the digging and then the rest carrying the mulch to a spot closer to the Tiny Forest.
Pain stopped play
Another week, another GoodGym Lewisham twisted ankle, this time Oli's foot landed in a hole but he did manage to stay upright and not drop the bucket of mulch!
The Tiny Forest team now only have about 2 foot to dig or 2 double digs. Then its time for planting of the saplings, the community missions is happening on 9th December, all details here
P.S. Enjoy the really really blurry photos!

Bromley Report written by Linda Gatley
Well that was a quintessentially satisfying GoodGym good deed – a fresh air full-body work out, loads achieved for the environment and humanity, and all in lovely company. Cat and Linda joined Bromley’s Friends of Alex Rec for a busy morning digging, wheelbarrowing and composting – pausing for a minute’s silence to remember Armistice Day – then more digging and weeding. This was to prepare trenches for planting a new section of hedgerow which will enhance the park for wildlife and for the community, as well as contributing to carbon capture as the saplings grow. Planting day is next Saturday… to be continued!
