A Tale of Two Staircases

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

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday morning and three Goodgym runners jogged along to the sheltered accomodation in Acomb to help move a bed upstairs so that the occupational health team at York Hospital could replace it with a hospital bed.

Ellie and Peter made swift of work of the mattress which went straight up the twisty back stairs but the bed base was just a bit too big.

Luckily there was also a set of much more forgiving stairs at the front so Peter and Nick whisked the base through the dining room and up the front and within 10 minutes the job was done

A quick interlude during a morning run for three GG runners and it means that Mr J can now come back from hospital

A lovely start to the weekend

If only more properties had choice of staircases would make our work much easier - good teamwork team!
