After a five month gap, Sevan returned to help Ms A dispose of a collection of rubbish bags. A lot of other GoodGymers had been to help in the meantime and Sevan was keen to see if anything had improved, with Ms A or the building where she lived. After different medical issues, Ms A wasn't able to move the bags long distances herself, so needed assistance from GoodGym.

Ms A had helpfully brought all the bags into the hallway, so when she opened the door, they surrounded her legs. Sevan took the heaviest of them down first, then came back for a short chat that turned into a long update of how Ms A was doing. One of the problems that she was having was that her neighbours were disturbing her sleep as, according to Ms A, they were being loud at all hours of the day. Overall it turned out that neither the building or Ms A was doing better than last time but also not worse, maybe.

Eventually, Sevan managed to break the chat and pick up the next set of bags, getting on with the main task of taking them to the communal bins. After that, there was one more run and he was done, leaving Ms A's hallway clear for another week or so, until the next GoodGym mission.

Deep in Walpole Park lies a mulch mountain underneath a thick blanket of fallen leaves. Our job? To dig deep and mine for gold! Or - rather - to dig deep and mine for dark brown mulch, otherwise know as ‘the good stuff’! This nutrient heavy mulch was then to be taken to the kitchen garden to be used as food for the plants there.

First, in the dark and the rain, we climbed the mountain and with spades tossed the leaves aside; Sevan and Kash were first to the top! We hacked at the leaves causing wet (yet also incredibly dusty) avalanches - but we persevered and soon we reached the darkest and tastiest mulch. We filled wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow and Steph took charge of taking the mulch to the kitchen garden.

If you didn’t know, mulch mountains contain all sorts of unexpected obstacles- rocks, weird fumes and logs bigger than you or I - no problem for Kash who dug the logs out and launched them aside.

Finding the ‘good mulch’ was quite a challenge as there were so many layers of wet heavy leaves and half cooked mulch and so, when we did - Amy declared it her favourite task ever.

Surprisingly none of us sunk in the pile and needed to be rescued but also - none of us came away with dry shoes!
