Another weedy street in Southville, another Tuesday evening opportunity for GoodGym Bristol to get stuck in!

Having opted out of glyphosate all year, some of the Southville gutters and pavements are very weedy which can also lead to blocked drains, so manual effort to keep the rainwater flowing is the order of the day.

Sweeping and scraping, a little bit if hacking and the longest, clumpiest piece if weed ever, lots of chat and the odd cat, many gutters and wall edges were all spruced up by the time we were due to run (or walk) away again.

Lits of lively chat sat outside at Workout and then a blast of DIYSOS getting a lorry stuck and the successfully pulling it out - jeopardy indeed.

See tiu all for more next week!
