Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Tonights community mission was at Spital Cemetery clearing weeds and collecting litter. A first for the Thursday evening session.
Bekah ran to The Binoy for 6:15pm to say โhiโ to Jen who was walking and then she ran on to the task to meet the others.
We eventually ๐คฃ gathered at 6:30pm and the task owner Karen and the local cat showed us the area we we needed to tackle. Got on the classic fm for some calming background tunes.
Our fab GoodGym Team tonight was Gareth (welcome to his first Thursday evening session), Jen, Sue, Mandy , Bekah and Didem.
Gareth and Didem set about doing a quick litter pick on their way to the main area of work.
The weeds had over taken the rose garden of remembrance and with traces of ashes visible we had to be mindful not to disturb these. The weeds had blanketed the whole of the bed and some of the roots were really deep. The thistles had also grown very densely Bekah tried to tackle these but they were a bit to prickly. Hopefully after all our hard week the rose will have some space to thrive and any future scatterings will be much nicer.
Jen volunteered herself for condensing the green waste and then Didem and Jen took the bag down for collection.
After the task we opted for a calming quick yoga session perfect for a cemetery. Not that we were much calmer afterwards as it was just too funny ๐คฃ Jens classic line โI donโt think Iโve ever done yoga in a graveyard before โ๐คฃ
At the end we did the Windsor curtsy and bow ๐ and said our goodbyes.
Thank you all for coming โฅ๏ธ and Namaste (nah-mah-stay)
