That was MINT
7 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the Samye Mindfulness and Well being Centre in Cardiff.
- Tuesday, 26th of April 2022
- Led by Michael
7 goodgymers for a short distance today, Just the 3km total - but we will make up for that at the task.
We were heading back to the lovely Samye Foundation, the difference that you can see here since we first started our volunteering partnership back in June 2017 is amazing. You'd think we would have run out of tasks by now, but that's never the case.
Our list for the evening was ready by our water when we arrived.
- Take the broken fire door from the back to the car - ready for the tip.
- Remove all full black bags, also to the car.
- Tidy up the leaves that have blown around out in the back space.
- Take the cover of the gazebo.
- Stack up the red chairs at the front.
- Collect the large stones into the yellow bucket.
- Remove the Mint and strawberry plants, place them in containers ready for re-potting.
- Dig over the vegetable plot ready for planting.
No time to dilly-dally
We got to work and tackled the tasks as they came up, the hardest were most certainly the deceivingly heavy broken door, moving and getting into the car (although the crumbling did help), and the mat of mint roots that had taken over the veg patch. In a little extra time, we were done.
Time for some snacks and a chat and then our short distance back.
