It was a beautiful early summer's evening and we were excited to head over to Holy Trinity for some liftin' and shiftin' and also to see the amazing progress of the straw hall which is 99% finished!

First and foremost we were delighted to welcome Sylvie for her first GoodGym session, a word of mouth referral (we love those) it was lovely to have you with us Sylvie :0)

Katie was also back with us and took a fantastic action photo on our run through Brockwell Park then Tilly and Michael also joined as we did GG Lambeth Book Club this evening - some great recommendations.

After a lovely flat route run through the park and then we were there to meet James (aka Father Nature), Nicole and Adam and split into two groups 1) to shovel woodchip and spread it round the borders to suppress weeds and 2) grab a mattock or a hoe and dig back the edges of Ivy's garden to clear the paths. Jo, Paul and Marie-Noelle were already there and hard at work so we had some catching up to do.

So enjoyable was tonight's task that we nearly lost track of time but by ten past eight we had pretty much done all the tasks and were ready to head home.

Huge congrats to Nicole and her team for the amazing work on the hall and gardens and still plenty of jobs to do going forward so we look forward to being back soon.

Thanks all and see you next week!
