Mission Impassible

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Haringey.

They say all good things come to an end but some good things don't start! Alas, Rupesh and I were unable to get our fix of weeding and deeding but spent a good hour trying to make contact with our mission host before we called it a day

The sun was shining ready for two North London GGers to get their fixes of weeding and deeding for "C" but, today, it was not meant to be.

We arrived at the door with no answer, eventually spoke to C to say we were outside but must have been some crossed wires as the door in front of us remained firmly closed.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see C and it later transpired we were at the wrong house. Alas, subsequent attempts to contact C failed to connect; the line was engaged for the next hour and we decided to call it a day and go to the pub for a chin wag.

Shame to have not changed C's life today but I'm sure we'll get another chance to return.

Sorry you both had a wasted journey! Hope C's garden gets sorted another day!
