Mission

Did you Cedar Fuchsias!?

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

We arrived at Mrs M's daughters house to pick up a few bits and head over to Mrs M's place.

When we arrived, Mrs M proudly showed us around her lovely little garden. She even gave us some gardening tips and showed us the best way to plant a cutting!

It was a little wonderland full of all different types of fuchsias, and Mrs M told us the names of all of them (which we promptly forgot unfortunately!). We got on with painting all the wooden flower beds with Cedar stain to protect the wood from the elements, and smarten it all up a bit.

We were a bit worried about how bright the paint was... But it looked great once it had dried a bit! Once finished, we tidied up the courtyard and showed Mrs M our handywork.

She was pretty chuffed with the results, and kept exclaiming "... That looks bloody lovely!!".

We finished off a great Sunday afternoon with a run around Eastville Park... Make sure you try out the new parkrun there in a couple of weeks!

Mission accomplished! :-)
