Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonight we were back helping St Edwards Catholic First School develop their new forest garden.

Special congratulations to Bekah for her 10th good deed and to Adam for his 40th! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

We all had our own reasons to meet at the task tonight which was a community mission.

Our England ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ โšฝ๏ธ squad tonight was Jen, Marilyn, Sue, Bekah, Mandy and Caroline and Adam was an honoury member ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ (we wonโ€™t tell Wales ๐Ÿคซ).

We followed our previous video instructions from the task owner and carried on from where we left off last session.

Jen took to the naughty corner to work on a dead climbing plant.

Adam and Bekah were on weeds and clearing.

Caroline wasted no time digging and planting and edging.

Sue and Marilyn weeded (mainly as they know what are plants and what are weeds) We moved pallets and stacked them safety.

Mandy took photos and did a bit of this and that. To help others and finding things that would fill the hole left from the removed bath. It does look like we have buried someone. Bekah and Marilyn even danced on it ๐Ÿคฃ I did count us all in and out ๐Ÿคฃ although we may have buried Mandyโ€™s trowel!

So to sum up we did the weeding , clearing, sweeping, removing debris, litter etc to clear the area. We also did some watering of the plants but there was a hole in our bucket.. there a song about that!

Bekah was on camera duty while we played our end of session game. Seeing at itโ€™s was ladies day at Ascot and England playing football tonight the game was a combination.

It involved wearing a silly England wig, walking like a posh lady ๐Ÿ‘’with a book ๐Ÿ“•on your head, galloping like a horse ๐ŸŽ (well we are GGs after all), dribbling the ball like a footballerโšฝ๏ธ and waving the England flag ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

The final seconds were Caroline and Mandy neck and neck but Team Marilyn, Sue and Mandy won! You can see by the photos and Bekahโ€™s video it was a bit mad but to everyoneโ€™s relief not a burpee in sight ๐Ÿคฃ

Thank you all so much for coming, missing the football game and dodging the Royal Ascot traffic. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
