A ribbiting evening spent at The Fields Child and Family Centre, where we welcomed Yasmiena and Peter to their first GoodGym session ๐Ÿ‘‹

I met Peter at Parkside Pools and we took a lovely sunny jog over to Abbey where we met Sunethra and Yasmiena.

All was quiet on site, but armed with gardening tools, gloves and determination, we got started on the overgrown beds. They were full of dead shrubbery and thorny bramble, some of which had grown up under the cladding on the building!

Part way through Yasmiena spotted a frog who was very unhoppy about being disturbed. ๐Ÿธ We attempted a careful relocation, but it was sure it wanted to find its own way to a new home. Safely tucked away, we continued.

We weeded, cleared, pruned, and turned the soil to transform it in just 50 minutes ๐Ÿ’ช

What a fantastic first daylight evening session of the season, with dappled sun, interesting conversation and satisfying progress made. We collected all the waste for disposal and admired our work before going our separate ways into the sunset.

Until next time!
