Ok, it wasn't quite a massacre (or anywhere near to be fair) but just for a glimpse of a second, when Eloise was holding the hedge trimmer with intent, I was slightly cautious haha.

It was a glorious evening at Sprowston Nursery. Amanda was there to greet us and had a an array of tools for us to use.

The goal was to clear the garden area used by the toddlers - trimming back the hedge, weeding, cutting back stinging nettles and strimming the grass.

I love the photo at the end when we attempted to spell 'GoodGym' with our hands. Well done Maddy for figuring out how to do a G!

We had our first visit or the year to Bowthorpe Community Gardens, and what a lovely place it is.

For once the weather was kind to us, dare I say it actually felt a little like summer!

We completed an array are tasks to help the gardens look spruce.

Tonight 11 GoodGymers ran 5km to support Barge Road Community Garden.

Kudos to Mark, who was attending his 100th session!

We continued where we left off last week, pulling up roots, weeding, sieving through soil and picking up litter.

This weeks surprise find was an old Barbie! After 45 minutes of filling buckets, bin bags and piling up rubble we headed home after a job well done.

Tonight 12 GoodGymers & 1 dog ran 5km to help clean up the Lakenham Way.

When we arrived Bek handed us each litter pickers and bin liners, and directed us in pairs to the areas most in need of a tidy up.

Amongst the finds this week were a discarded umbrella, a bike tire and a used homework book!

After 45 mins we had filled 9 bin bags ready to be collected, before we made our way back to the Forum.

Shout out to Elizabeth who celebrated her big birthday with her 150th Parkrun last week, and also Alina who will be running her 200th Parkrun this weekend!
