This morning we met with Virginia and Toby from Wild Roots. It was so lovely to meet people who are so passionate about community work. Wild roots have a lot of amazing ideas of how they can further make connections within the community.

Today we weeded an area of land that is going to become a beautiful flower bed. The flowers grown in the flower beds are going to be gifted to people.

After the weeding, there was some rubble removable. The rubble contained so many different types of rock, stone, brick and glass. No hidden treasures were found today.

Virgina and Toby had kindly supplied some biscuits and some tea and coffee. It was a welcomed blessing.

Welcome back Michelle to Goodgym. It doesn't matter how long it has been everyone is always welcome.

We will definitely be connecting with wild roots again. It was a lovely session, in a lovely space with lovely people.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
