Islington

Mission

Blood, sweat and (rusty) shears

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

We always knew it was a multi person job so I did what I could in the time I had in the very tropical weather. 🥵 Unfortunately due to a strimmer malfunction (it had no blade), it was just me and Mr Rusty Tool against the jungle, along with some brute force! I managed to hack back 3 bags worth of brambles (ow!) and weeds and get through to the back to get the ivy off the neighbours wall. I didn’t find any tigers in the jungle but I did find some long lost garden furniture! Another visit will be required and Ms N’s garden will once again resemble a garden. 🌲
