Updates from Victor, Andrew and Joanna and James

By Andrew -
Our first update today comes from Victor, who is at home in Madrid:
Although I'm working from home, we are spending lots of time together learning to paint, cooking, playing guitar (well, we are 3 and 0 years old,... so you can imagine what we are learning :)),...

For me it's the first time going through something similar and it's being a very weird time. And it's very nice to keep connected with the people you love. This is why I wanted to contribute with some words (that hopefully you can understand ;))

Furthermore we though you were the best people to ask for advice. During this lockdown time, we've been trying to figure it out what we are doing wrong with our plants but we have not been able to understand it so maybe you can help us with some advice.

I will show you two pictures one from my artists in action and the other from the Spanish "green gymmers" trying to solve our problem.

See you!

Meanwhile, Andrew and Joanna have been out for their daily exercise in Abingdon, taking in Green Gym work sites at the town end Ock Valley Walk yesterday and then down to Southern Town Park today, including a look to see how our wildflower patch is faring. We returned home to a delicious vegan supper, cooked by Joanna's daughter Gertie, who is staying with us at the moment after having to finish university early.

Finally for today, James has made a couple of contributions:

 It’s not just us humans that are having a hard time at the moment. I managed to photograph one of our local pigeons on our fence this morning. Doesn't look too happy does he?











Also, he sent a Green Gym-themed joke to share:

A Green Gymmer from Essex visits one of our sites near Abingdon.  The Essex Gymmer asks ‘How big is the site you look after?” to which the Abingdon Gymmer replies “Can you see those trees over there ? That’s the boundary of this site. It’s our biggest one”

The Essex Gymmer  responded “Wow. It takes me three days to drive around  the boundary  of our largest site”

The Abingdon Gymmer said “ Hmmm. I had a car like that once”

Pinkhill Meadow Nature Reserve, Farmoor Reservoir, 16th March 2019

Another week, another new site for the Abingdon Green Gym! We met at the car park at Farmoor Reservoir, a healthy turn out of 17 of us, including French father Sebastien, and his eleven-year old son, Maelo, who was joining us for a school project. The session was led by James under the instruction of Hanna Jenkins, the warden of Pinkhill Meadow Nature Reserve, so called because it is right on the banks of the River Thames, just near Pinkhill Lock. It was another blustery day. Will this crazy wind ever let up? We followed Hanna in convoy round the edge of the reservoir, which was choppy to say the least, and parked up on the other side where it was thankfully a little calmer, the high banks of the reservoir providing some shelter. Equipped with our tools, gloves and goggles, we made our way onto the spot on the nature reserve where we were to do our work. Hanna told us that the reserve had been formed in 1991, but some aspects had been neglected over the last ten years. The aim

Kennington Memorial Field, 29th October 2016

By Andrew -
We have been working at Kennington Memorial Field for a number of years now, clearing scrub from the slopes so that the valley remains an area of grassland and wild flowers. This time Rachel from Oxford Preservation Trust was in charge and led us down to the lower end of the field, where we were to cut back the trees and bushes by several metres and burn the scrub on a bonfire. We were joined by some families with children of varying ages, the youngest only three, who had answered a local appeal for volunteers. We set to work and soon we had a bonfire going. Even the children who were too young to use loppers and saws joined in, carrying branches to the bonfire pile. Despite the drizzly weather they all worked cheerfully. At tea break time we enjoyed some delicious snacks that Rachel had brought and a tin of chocolates supplied by Michele. We found two old birds' nests in the course of the morning and cutting back the scrub revealed a log pile with a rabbit hole under

Ock Valley Walk, Town End, 22nd June 2013

Quite a small group gathered for this session and the weather didn't look promising. However, we were pleased to welcome a new member, Laura. We set off for the woodchip path,where we made our encampment. The nettles had grown high and dense since our previous visit, almost concealing the young trees, compising beech, oak, silver birch, cherry and rowan, which we had planted as whips almost two and a half years previously. One of our tasks was to clear the nettles and other vegetation immediately around them. As you can see from the photo of the young cherry, most of the trees are flourishing. Other tasks were to cut up and clear fallen branches into piles and the inevitable litter picking. There was a sharp shower shortly before 11 o'clock but it had stopped when we gathered for a welcome tea break. By the end of the morning we had finished clearing round the trees, tidied away the dead wood and picked up quite a respectable amount of litter, though I suspect t
