Chop it like it's hot

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

  • Andy
  • Greenwich runner
 
Saturday, 9th of June 2018

It was hot. And chop we did. Mrs B's lawn needed a trim and tidy. Andy arrived easy breezy from Brixton (barring that hill...), and Vix succeeded in missing the delights of every single common en cycle from Clapham to Streatham due to monumental navigation failures. But there was plenty of green at Mrs B's to make up for our urban travels.

Mrs B was happy to share her story with us and converse over glasses of water (that does not have the same ring to it as over a cup of tea, but facts be facts). She hasn't felt able to manage the garden since her husband passed away; and with family in far flung locations at times, Goodgym have been a help to turn to. We look forward to heading to Mrs B's home again.

#No pictures were taken in the making of this mission, because, well we forgot/wanted to retain battery life to hit ALL the commons en cycle back - CHECK. ##Andy actually ran off to Brockwell Park and I'm sure he had a field day ###we cannot submit without a photo so here is a not so neat garden belonging to Vix who maybe should do a mission round her own gaff one day soon
