Led by Bournemouth runner

Four Goodgymmers, Sarah, Roger, Keith and Lea, turned up at St Aldhelm’s Church to meet up with David. No weeding like last time, no, the big stuff today! Roger wielding a pitchfork to take a self seeded big (whatever it was) bush out, Sarah happily lopping away at huge laurel and rhododendron bushes, with Keith attacking holly, laurel and a strawberry tree with a vengeance! And Lea… on wheelbarrow duty! Luckily Roger joined her after uprooting the whatever bush and together they wheeled 28 barrows around the corner past a group of non-budging people and a rather badly parked van into and beyond the memory garden. All that gardening work resulted in a huge pile… and a happy David, hoping that we will manage at least one more session there. Thanks everyone for your hard work.
