Mission

Mow Problem

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

Saturday, 30th of December 2017

Saturday morning is traditionally a time for a parkrun and then a GoodGym group run; but we are in that weird time between Christmas and New Year so there was no Group run today.

Not to deny Charlie and I our GoodGym fix, we went on a mission to help Mrs & Mr J with their garden, ideally she wanted us to mow the lawn but as this was December it was far too wet! (does anyone mow lawns in December?) Therefore we gave the garden a bit of a tidy up instead, cutting back brambles from the decking and removing weeds from the drive and putting them in one of her three new green bins.

Halfway through we were presented with some tea and biscuits to keep us refreshed and review our progress.

When our work was complete, run leader Charlie led us off to find another GoodGym mission group nearby, where we ran together to Grounded Cafe for a bit of lunch and a chat.

All in all, a lovely last Saturday morning of 2017.
