It was the morning of Storm Kathleen, and although she was a safe distance away from Bath the weather was gusty and epic.

Three GoodGymmers showed up looking windswept and interesting to our now regular slot at Bath City Farm to help, with our usual gusto and enthusiasm. Aaron Aaron, Jane Jane and Meyrick Meyrick arrived to what was a hectic and incredibly busy Farm.

A multitude of families had showed up to what we learned was Bath City Farm's Spring Fayre, replete with stalls providing home grown goods and fun (splat the rat, face painting and chicken run for example) and I'm not sure they had been prepared for how popular the day was going to be.

As a result, their ability to provide us with work to do was somewhat impaired, but we helped where we could. Our timing was quite handy though, they were just about to pack up (the Fayre having been running since early morning), so we mucked in and helped clear up where we could.

We were also, with time remaining, able to fully water one of their polytunnels before we left. Many thanks to the team for being proactive to find work despite the fact that all the staff were too busy to supervise is as they normally would.

But that's what we do isn't it?

Bath City Farm was set up by the local community in the early 1990s, when the resident farmer retired. It gained charitable status in 1995. Over the past 17 years there has been considerable progress on site, including introducing our Soay sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and pigs, a pony and most recently a flock of guinea fowl
