A moving experience

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

Here's what Ms I of N7 had to say about the mission:

'I would like to say thank you for the support I received to do my garden. I was very happy with the service and lovely people. You have enriched my life with the support. I can now sit in my garden, it is much appreciated. Carry on the good work!' A lovely email we received from Mrs I, nice work!

It was my first mission and what a moving experience it was.

Abi and I moved around a BBQ and a lot of pots filled with all things green in Mrs L's front garden, before trimming a couple of tall bushes. She was very appreciative of having some plants higher up so they are more accessible for watering. We finished off the job by arranging two chairs and small tables ready for Mrs L to enjoy a cup of tea with a friend when the sun comes out again.

Before heading off, Mrs L said a big thank you and sent us away with some spider plant trimmings so we can remember "the little old lady" (her words, not ours!!)

It was a great first mission and I'm looking forward to signing up for another!
