Mow Far-in-height

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

: Saturday, 29th of June 2019

Here's what Ms L of BS7 had to say about the mission:

'Thank you so much for this. I spoke with Ms L's neighbour and she said that GoodGym were amazing and she couldn’t believe how hard they worked in the hot weather. She said Ms L now sits and looks at her flowers in the garden through the window, so thank you very much for helping her enjoy her garden.' - Email from our partner who referred this task to us. Well done, both!

Ms L of BS7, mission beneficiary

The hottest day of the year so far which made for tiring work for Roz and me.

Greeted by Ms L’s neighbour, Ms J, we were introduced to Ms L and her somewhat overgrown garden. Ms L used to tend to this herself but is no longer able to do so and we were happy to be able to step in to restore some order.

The grass was very long but a combination of strimmer and shears, followed by some careful mowing soon had the garden looking more manageable.

It also gave Roz the chance to reacquaint herself in the arts of both strimming and mowing, after many years, and we were pleased that we had left the garden looking tidier and, given just how long the grass was, that we hadn’t broken any of the equipment!

Scorchio!
