Busy Bee in Red Tee

Ealing Report written by StephDucat

I arrived at Mrs A to find a massive overgrown front garden, overgrown plant invading the pavement and the path to the front door was very narrow due to the overgrown weeds, brambles and plants. Her son welcomed me and gave me a rake plus and old rusty pair of shears. Luckily I also took my bramble gloves and small secators. Her son has back problems so cannot help with the garden. I started by trimming the tree/bush on the from that was overgrowing to the pavement and the neighbors. Then cleared the path to the front door so you can walk without being scratched by brambles etc. Also cleared the small side walk from the front door to the side entrance. Then it was the bramble attack : cleared all the weeds and brambles in the front garden - still some work to do but now you can see flowers, roses and bees. You can now walk in the garden. Mrs A was impressed and said what a difference 90 minutes of Goodgym does. I filled a wheelie bin and a green bag full of garden waste.

Brew can do it!

Westminster Report written by Southwark runner

Gail, Steph and Anna met on the Strand this evening to hand out hot drinks and food to those who needed it.

Due to the wet weather, and a few other charities out and about, the starting queue wasn't as long as normal. We were able to be generous with the portions of Biriyani, and Gail's coffees and hot chocolates went down a storm in the cold.

A couple of people came along with extra donations from Pret and Caffe Nero which all found an appreciative taker. After an hour, everything was gone.

Fun Tied Tomatoes

Ealing Report written by Sevan

There was a big group this month for the walk over Horsenden Hill to the Feeding Ealing site. It started out dry and got more wet the closer that the group got to their destination, with umbrellas popping up and waterproofs being worn. Given the threatening grey skies, everyone was happy when Joseph said that they'd be working inside, in the polytunnel. On a day like today, Joseph had no desire to get soaked and he didn't want anyone else to get wet either.

Walking through the site, Joseph pointed out the changes since GoodGym's visit last month, with the Dudhi plants being well established in the muddy holes that were dug last month. Inside the polytunnel, there was a lot of new growth too, with tomatoes, peppers and more shooting up in the raised beds and some exotic beans climbing up the walls.

It was the tomatoes that Joseph needed help with today. As they grew, they needed to each have a bamboo cane that they were tied to for support. Kash, Angela and Maxime grabbed string and scissors, cutting it into lengths for everyone to get tying. Part way through, Joseph came to the team with a with a new task and each person could choose the one they found the most fun:

  1. Tying the tomato plants to stakes
  2. Dismantling old garden furniture that was inefficiently filling the skip

Maxime, Angela and Delphine found their happiness in placing stakes and binding the tomato plants to them. Steph, Kash, Kaja and Sevan on the other hand went for destruction. They grabbed the wicker chairs out of the skip and got kicking, stamping, twisting, sawing and pick-axing. Anything they could to turn the bad 3D seating into good 2D seating that would neatly stack back in the skip.

With both of Joseph's jobs completed, the rain got heavier and everyone took cover in the polytunnel. While they waited out the heaviest of the rain, Joseph told everyone about last year's harvest and the plans for this year. He encouraged everyone to come back at harvest time to pick some crops and make their stomachs happy. That's the most important thing in life, according to Joseph.

The session wrapped up early and team GoodGym headed home or onto their next tasks. As they left the site, the rain stopped and the sun beamed down... for a few minutes at least, until clouds returned overhead.
