Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ and we're happy again β˜”

Tonight we were helping Braywood CE First School in Oakley Green, Windsor.

Of course it’s half term so the weather wasn’t being kind β˜”οΈ so no painting outdoors for us so tidying the small area in front of the school gates was our task instead.

Jen made her way on foot from The Greene Oak pub but Sue, Devon and Adam met at the task greeted by task owner, Head Teacher Susan. Mandy joined the task half way through as the rain was causing other issues as well πŸ’§πŸͺ£ Huge thank you to Jen for stepping in as task force for the first part πŸ‘πŸ»β™₯️

The front of the school had got a bit over grown so we wanted to create an area that maybe could have some planting added at a later date and give a bit more space as access to the parents and children.

Setting to work weeding and pulling up ivy, cutting back over grown hedgerow so the path has more space for when the children return next week.

We chatted about our week and touched briefly on the election but no heated debates were had! Devon took it all very well πŸ˜ƒ and had a break from knocking on doors.

Adam had a great technique playing leaf golf with a stick as part of the clear up at the end. Sue as always brought her mobile tool shed.

Lots of black bags were filled and put aside ready to go in the skip.

After the group photo we said our goodbyes , did the Windsor curtsy and made our way home.

As always thank you all for coming πŸ‘‘πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ»
