After a showery afternoon the weather broke just in time for our evening session helping out Jean and Annick from Brixton Windmill.

First arrival was Shiv who is a brand new GGer (great to have you join us Shiv!) closely followed by Becky who was sneaking in her 2nd session before heading away on hols. Michael was next and so completed the running group and of course being a famous GGer he was ideally placed to talk Shiv through all things GoodGym as we made our way to the Brixton Allotments.

On arrival we met with Annick and Jean who took us through the tasks for the evening and it was a big one with plenty of heavy lifting and shifting various items into the skip. We were also met by Marie-Noelle and Paul our resident walkers and ANOTHER new member of Lambeth community Kymm who also made her way directly to the task - welcome Kymm!

We had a shopping list of tasks including dumping green waste, shovelling and bagging woodchip, barrowing, throwing out heavy boards, pulling up multiple entangled carpets (!) and general tidy up. We also uncovered a toad's nest with 4 lovely specimens a bit surprised when their shelter disappeared but we were very careful to ensure they were all safe and well!

The team worked really hard and stayed a little longer than normal to get to a point we were happy with which shows the spirit of the group so huge thank you to all!

See you next time :0)
