Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonight we were back at Vale Road Cemetery clearing Ivy, weeds and litter.

We mostly met at the task but Mandy dumped the tools and ran up to walk Jenni from the Binoy.

We had a quick chat, saw what we had to do, put on some chilled classical music in keeping with our surroundings and set to work.

Jenni started with some litter picking before coming over to join Zoe, Marilyn, Mandy and Didem on the far side.

Lots of graves had been covered in ivy and we needed to try and do some preventative measures before it crept over more of the memorial stones.

Marilyn took some higher areas with the loppers. The others took the lower levels.

We had a nice chat about a variety of things while we pruned and tugged away at the Ivy. It was a lovely calm task so after we had tidied up and taken the selfie it was time for the activity cards to energise us for home.

Three rounds of pick a card hopping, standing abs, squats and other quick fitness before saying our goodbyes with the Windsor curtsy and bow 👑

Thank you all for coming x ♥
