Mitch-on Impossible!

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

We were warmly greeted by Mrs J who wasn't feeling too good today. Mrs J had lots and lots of very small weeds in the gravel in her back garden. She told us it used to be very well kept but due to ill health she isn't able to keep up with the weeding and it upset her to see it full of weeds. She also wanted us to water the various pots that were dotted about and so we set to work. After just over an hour and a half later, we had pulled up a good ¾ of the weeds and Mitch had battled with the hosepipe to get the pots watered (after nearly taking out the patio table and chairs in the process!). Mitch lost the battle of the hosepipe when he tried to reel it back in, but I managed to wrestle it into submission and loop it back around the holder into some sort of order. We were very pleased with our progress but disappointed that we didn't get to finish the whole garden, however Mrs J was very grateful for what we had done.
