10 GoodGymers move an ENTIRE GREENHOUSE (!) in Camden!
I often think that many hands really can make light work...
...but sometimes...
I think the work really is too heavy!
Which is what my brain was thinking as I arrived at Cecil Sharp House yesterday evening, where I was met by the lovely and fabulous troupe of Al, Jackie, John, Karen, Lydia, Rose, Siobhan, Theo, and Thierry!
Our task was quite simple.
Pick up that big ol' greenhouse, walk it 60m, and put it down again (in addition to emptying and organising and refilling too!)
And before I could even murmur a hesitation this group were off and working, and just wonderful they were. Together they:
❤️ Made exceptionally light work of this mammoth task!
❤️ Left the greenhouse organised and tidy, and in a prime new position!
❤️ Did even more by repacking two storage crates with heavy bags of gravel and soil!
And while some of the team did this Jackie and Siobhan were busy making a wonderful difference in Cecil Sharp's garden 👉 they collected leaves, strewn twigs, and litter 👉 transforming the lawn and pathways into (surely!) the tidiest green space in Camden :)
Thank you, everyone!
