Tonight was our first time visiting Frere Road Community Centre. After a 5km run or walk to the venue we met Claire who had all the tools ready.
The main task was covering the outside wall in 'Brilliant White' paint! It had already been prepared for us - thank you - with weeds cleared and paint dusted, so we could get stuck in straight away.
In an hour the 5 of us covered approx 10m, with rollers, ladders and brushes, making sure the bricks were covered evenly. Eloise also managed to cut back a tall bush at the front if the building to reveal a lovely canary murial.
The transformation was brilliant indeed! We hope to return for more painting very soon - there is plenty more to do.

A second visit to Mrs Js, with more work on trimming the hedges and making things tidy, it was a very pleasant experience and things looked much more tidy when I finished. Mrs J was very happy!

This was a lovely task, but in baking sunshine.
Mrs E was looking to get a new coat of paint on her shed, I managed to get around 3 sides of it during this session and it looks a lot better for it.
A second coat will be needed as well as the back of the shed, so a return would be welcome, ideally with two people so the whole thing can be finished in one go.

Tonight 5 GoodGymers ran or cycled to the beautiful Bowthorpe Community Garden.
We met Sally & Tim who kindly provided refreshments and nectarines! They had a list of tasks so we split into 2 groups.
One group dusted down 2 wooden benches before giving them a fresh coat of Red Cedar paint.
The second group cut back and pulled up thistles that were taking over the area, before filling wheelbarrows and taking the waste to compost.
With an hour nearly up, Woody finished painting the panels behind the benches, and Ian & Jordan filled two planters with 8 wheelbarrows of soil.
It was an impressive effort by all, and much appreciated by the community group.

Mrs J has now been able to do a bit more in the front garden and it feels a great achievement to be able to do this but she cannot manage the back. She loves her garden and take great pleasure in it being looked after again.

A return to Mr M's to trim the lawn a bit more. There were some stubborn weeds coming back which needed trimming again. I offered to pull them instead but Mr M did prefer them mowed back so it looked like it did before.
I did this and he was very happy and things look lovely and tidy again.
