Mission

Mowing me mowing you

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

Andy and Natasha met at Ms B's house, having run from Kew and Chiswick.

Ms B explained that with her deteriorating sight, she was no longer able tend to her garden as she used to. Pointing us in the direction of her well equipped supply of tools (and vintage lawnmower), we quickly got stuck in to the job at hand.

Diving in with Natasha attacking an overgrown jasmine bush and Andy tackling the lawn, we quickly had the garden looking much smarter - after a quick team effort to rid the front garden of daisies and dandelions, we reported back to a happy Ms B.

Following a cup of coffee, a few biscuits and a nice chat, we said goodbye and headed off, leaving Ms B to enjoy her new space.
