Four Goodgymers scoured the town for trash this evening, on a beautiful if rather chilly April evening. We headed east, via the Meanwhile garden in the cultural quarter, towards East Bay. We found lots of grot in the bushes and across the grass near a children's play area, and felt a warm glow of satisfaction from cleaning up the area for all the park users. Notable finds included a strawberry, a felted pumpkin, and a toaster. Wildlife encounters included trills from a Cetti's warbler, sleepy swans by the pond, and a curious fox, checking us out.

A beautiful day to do good and get fit. Wonderful to see the young runners enjoying junior parkrun at Old Heath recreation ground. Well done everyone for marshalling, timekeeping, co-ordinating, funnelling, cheering and encouraging.

6 GoodGymers plus Pam completed a day's work in one hour at the allotment. We pruned, strimmed, weeded, planted, munched, watered and more, very quickly leaving Colchester in Bloom's allotment in a much better shape.

With spring hitting, it is a busy time in the gardening world and so we will be back in two weeks to help out again.

Oh and the run title....I'm trying to get to grips with What Three Words to help new GoodGymers find us more easily, and this is the location of the shed at the allotment!
