Mission

I can see clearly now the weeds are gone

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

On this very sunny Sunday afternoon Claire and I visited Mrs F to give her a hand with her garden. Even though we were both slightly exhausted from having just run to the location, we didn't waste time and got stuck in the garden.

Before I could give the lawn a nice trim, I first got to assemble the brand new mower, and soon it was cutting away like there was no tomorrow. In the meantime Claire was making good progress in the side beds, trying as hard as possible to correctly tell weeds apart from plants.

A lot more weeding and brushing later, we left 2 full bags of garden waste behind and said our goodbyes to Mrs F's lovely meerkats.

Well done both, sounds like a smashing effort and I'm sure Mrs F and meerkats will appreciate it over the summer!
