Two Ealing GoodGymers, Sevan and Kash, were crossing borders again this Saturday afternoon, supporting GoodGym Hounslow for the second weekend in a row. After proving their worth by cutting trees with a bread knife, the duo felt unstoppable and ran 5km further west to test their skills against Ms H's patio.

Ms H's sister, Ms K, welcomed the two and offered them ice-cold water. What a relief after a run in the blazing sun! Ms K was the carer of her two sisters, both of whom were in poor health. Ms K's age and caring responsibilities left her without energy or time to tackle the back and front gardens of Ms H's house. That's why we have GoodGymers in this world!

The patio in the back garden was the priority, so Sevan and Kash took the challenge to clear all of the weeds in sight and sweep the mess into waste bags. Most of the weeds were easily pulled from between the slabs, except thistles and dandelions that needed a little bit of convincing to let go - a pair of shears was the best argument! The GoodGymers uncovered a colony of bindweed at the far end and dealt with it with utmost delight.

Ninety minutes was enough to finish the transformation of the back garden. The spectacular result surprised even Sevan and Kash themselves! Ms K then introduced the GoodGymers to her sisters, Ms H and Ms M. All three were very grateful for help and hoped to see the GoodGym team again (maybe to help with the front garden?).
