It was almost like the old Saturdays of Bristol GoodGym as we “massed” (by current standards) at the lake in Eastville Park having gathered some GGers and tools at the Nissen Hut. We welcomed Sophie to her first ever GG session whilst second-timers Jennifer and Daisy took on the wheelbarrow skills test of bumping down steps to the lake.
We searched out the weediest bits of the lakeside (before they could become the seediest bits) and set to with our trowels, scrapers, shovel and broom to fill multiple wheelbarrows with weeds and soil. We baked in the sunshine and basked in the shade and made brilliant progress around the lake. It was difficult to get people to stop for our elderflower cordial and Tim’s delicious chocolate and raspberry cake as our reward for an excellent morning’s chat and good seeding.
