A Step in the Right Direction

3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Sheffield.

James, Celine and I teamed up to continue the good work started on Mrs J's garden last week: https://www.goodgym.org/reports/goodgym-sheff-takes-on-the-rampant-bramble

James had dubbed our task as Mission: Chopossible, but undeterred, we continued on our way hacking and slashing to clear as much bramble as possible. Green-fingered Celine explained that we needed to get to the root of the problem, quite literally, or the brambles would be back twice as big in a couple of months. So, after gathering what we'd cut back into 2 big piles, we worked on digging up several roots.

Along the way, we found plenty more debris, including several odd shoes we suspect may be the work of a dog with a foot fetish. We also uncovered a set of steps that were previously completely obscured.

It feels like this task could be never ending, but hopefully Mrs J is pleased with what we've been able to achieve.

Sounds like a really interesting task you three, well done! I hope you threw away the self-destructing sunglasses before you started!
