Great morning meeting Rachel for the first time and welcoming her to GoodGym! We'd love to see you again!

We spent the morning once again helping out at Brandwood Cemetry clearing the holly from the graves. The roots cause damage to the graves and the spiky leaves make maintenance and recording of the graves difficult. The plan was to remove the bushes from the root in order to clear the area thus allowing the preservation and mapping of the graves.

Today the lodge was open and Julia and Jill welcomed us in for a hot coffee and biscuits!
