Medium Oak - lovely brown to fit into nature

Aome of Goodgymers met at the school and some walked from the meeting point. It was a sunny afternoon; great for walking and enjoying summer weather. She school was located on lovely grounds with a forest on the side and it had lots of green area.

We had several jobs to choose from - painting gates, painting outside playroom sets, clearing brambles or pruning bushes around the play area the wood. My first impression was that it looked like a jungle for children - a great place for kids to get mucky and enjoy outdoors.

A herd of cows came to visit us from the woods area. It turned out they had the right to roam all that area. We saw many this summer's calves and cows. They all looked at us as investigating who we were. We did the same in reverse. Then we got back to out tasks - we better got mooo-ving!

It seemed like we had managed to complete quite a lot in no time at all! That colour "Medium Oak" looked so good on the gates and furniture sets.

We returned across the meadow back to the school. The teacher had prepared some juices, water and biscuits for us, which was a lovely touch. We managed to do the flag quiz while enjoying snacks and drinks.

We left the task with a good feeling that we had helped to improve the spacious outdoor area. And we made plans to attend the same session in September. Happy summer day!
