Summer's here!

...And so were a large group of Goodgymers to help Larry finish the final landscaping task at the Yurt.

Welcome to all those new to Tower Hamlets Goodgym! (Michael, Matt, Anna).

When we arrived there was a mound of gravel towering high to be spread over the rocky path.

We split into teams, shovelling the gravel into the barrows and raking in all directions to cover all the larger stones.

After an hour and a half we could see a smooth, beautiful gravel path leading all the way down to the monastery garden. Good effort team!

We also had our painting team,Lucinda and Victoria, who worked their magic with the brushes and painted the entire fence at the back of the garden.

Having smashed through our allocated tasks, many hands then made light work loading up the skip with panels and planks.

We definitely got a good workout in the sun! And it was great to see the Yurt garden space looking lovely for everyone to enjoy, thanks in part, to our efforts on this project over the last few months :-)"
