Mission

A spin and a natter

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.

Arrived at Mrs R's ready to do her laundry for her but she insisted on showing me how to do it, so all I really managed to do was lift her bag of clothes and put them in the machine as she couldn't do the lifting - thankfully, she pressed all the buttons.

I'd brought my book ready to wait for it all to finish and move to the dryer, but Mrs R sat with me in reception and we talked for the whole hour - which went very quickly as she had 89 years' worth of stories to tell!

Once the washing machine was finished, I moved all the clothes into the dryer and left Mrs R to the rest of her day.
