Two GoodGym-ers and a hanger-on went to mow, went to mow the meadow... and to scythe and rake the recalcitrant bits the mower couldn't cope with. Bare flesh was bitten by horseflies; cowslips were spotted and the scything made their unaccustomed muscles wilt.

A wonderful evening was had in the company of the Friends of Lyncombe Field who lived up to the name with biscuits, advice, training and lots of good chat.

Great to meet newcomer Emma We hope to see you again soon :)

7 goodymers jogged or walked to the secret garden/cementry looked after by the Bath Preservation Trust in Widcombe. Up a short alley and hidden behind giant gates lies the land that time forgot.

Overgrown with nettles and bind weed, the team began to clear huge sections of the garden to reveal the ancient wall markings indicating where burials lie.

The team did a fantastic job and in no time the area looked so much better!

Fingers crossed for not too much sunshine and showers as the weeds will return with a vengence

6 Goodgymers made their way on a lovely, sunny and warm evening to help Trauma Breakthrough with their garden.

The grass was at least knee high in places and we were armed with tools to complete the job. From lawn mowers to strimmers, brushes, weeding tools and loppers.

We had an hour and made really good headway. Clearing a path to the tree so that the groups have somewhere to sit for their sessions and leaving other areas of wild flowers for the insects and environment.

Great job everyone!
