Sycamore, no more!
7 GoodGymers made their way 5.2km to help the Lewisham Unity in Lewisham.

The last of our May bank holiday group runs was taking us to Catford to visit our friends at Lewisham Unity. A surprisingly shorter run that anticipated, a nice change from my usual longer than anticipated group runs!
There was a list of tasks for us to tackle: - moving the sand to create a path around the cherry tree and to protect the edges of the raised beds from weeds - watering all the recently planted vegetable plants and herbs - remove a sycamore that had self seeded and was now taking over - great work Julian! - mowing the lawn (a task that sparked a couple of reminders of childhood chores) - litter picking - moving a huge bag of leaves that we filled over a couple of visits in the cold dark months of winter
It was wonderful to visit the garden in daylight and see the difference we made during the winter visits when we could barely see what was there! We made a huge difference tonight that would have taken Simone and the team longer than the 45min that it took us.
Next week we're heading to Luxmore Gardens for more weeding and maybe some watering.
