Easter pottering

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

Here's what Ms Y of SW11 had to say about the mission:

I'm just calling to express my gratitude, they did such a good job. They were so friendly, and so quick!

Ms Y of SW11, mission beneficiary

With the sun shining, Easter was upon us. Jonathan, having run all the way from Hammersmith (even after a long 12 mile run earlier in the week), joined Helen fresh from a morning parkrun and short cycle to Ms Y.

She was delighted to see us and eager to get some help re-potting her three house plants, one of which was over 8 years old and she’d bought the same day her grandchild had been born. He apparently still didn’t match the plants height!

We quickly got tools and potting compost ready and with Jonathan’s green leaves knowledge we confidently went about each pot. Within no time at all we’d got the job done, moved the plants back inside and done a good job in sweeping up and tidying the patio for Ms Y to enjoy the Easter weekend in.

Congratulations Jonathan on your first of many missions!!
