I arrived to help Ms I with her gardening. Due to a very difficult past few years, she has been unable to maintain the garden so required some help.

Fortunately some good neighbours helped remove most of the heavy objects in the garden, so the main task was to cut all the grass. I needed to remove the large tufts of grass and brambles before the grass could be mown. Unfortunately there were limited tools available so was mainly using my hands! After an hour and half of graft, fuelled by very tasty coffee, I was able to fill the green bin and hopefully made it so the grass can be mown.

Definitely need at least 2 GoodGymers next time!
