Report written by Southwark runner
Goodgym and Surrey Docks Farm were reunited after a long four months of lockdown this afternoon.
Rachel had a lot for us to do, having been without her usual volunteers for far too long.
We started with some socially distanced weeding, tackling grass and weeds that had been left to their own devices. The highlight was disturbing some baby frogs.
We then helped out with the livestock team putting the sheep to bed! This culminated in a "sheep run" as they galloped from their field into their shed for their dinner and a snooze.
Finally, a trip to the farm isn't complete without some poo shovelling. Abi leapt at the chance to climb on the muck pile and add some sheep poo to the lovely compost festering there.
Rachel was really grateful for the help and can't wait to welcome the next GoodGym crew next week!
Surrey Docks Farm is run by a charity and provides education for school children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. Our work helps with essential maintenance and helps them keep the farm operating.
