Mission

In need of a strim (mer)

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

  • Monica Charlery-Cazaubon
 
Saturday, 14th of October 2017

Monica and myself (being my first ever mission) arrived at Ms K's with the excitment and anticipation of takling the large garden, so it was nice to surprise to see that Ms K had laid out the best tool for the job - "Tony" the strimmer (I nicknamed him after Tony Montana from Scarface)

We assess the garden and divided task, Monica would deal with the over grown ivy and weeds from the paving slabs whilst Tony and myself got to work greeting the tall grass with force (and many scarface referneces). Soon finding "treasures" from broken doll to an eco environment of wild flowers from an open compost bag.

In th eprocess of clearing, we came across Ms fig tree (the idea of a pie was taking lightly) and then it was onto weed killer waterign and tarp laying to hopefully stop those pesky weeds coming back before spring.

WIth a short breaks for Ms K' treats and bottles of water (which were greatly appreciated) Mission was accomplished in just over 2 hours.
