Lewisham

Mission

How low can you go

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

Sunday, 24th of March 2019

After abandoning the mission last week in an unexpected hail storm, Conroy and I returned to see Mrs A and fix up her front garden walkway.

Today's task was to tidy up the archway and hedgerow that were getting a little out of control. In the beautiful sunshine, Conroy took charge of the hedge trimmer and I was guiding the shape and keeping the GoodGym VIP balanced on the ladder.

Mrs A was very lovely bringing us various gardenning tools for us to choose from and lots of offers for tea/water. She also kept telling us to cut more off the bush: '"lower" was the feedback!

After a few hours, we and Mrs A were happy with the results and Conroy managed to squeeze in another good team by planting a tree. Much to Mrs A's appreciation.
