Barnet

Mission

Oh! Dahlia

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

  • Rob Riley
  • Swindon runner
 
Saturday, 12th of October 2019

On a very rainy Saturday afternoon I met Rob in the suburbs of North London. After some introductions with Mrs B and under her guidance, we got to work planting some dahlia's. In the words of Mrs B she loves everything around her to be beautiful so the gap in the flower bed just had to be filled- fingers crossed we did it right!

After that we pruned back some of the more overgrown plants which were blocking different views of the garden. Once that was done and given the horrible rain Mrs B insisted we stopped and welcomed us inside, where she told us about her very inspirational and talented husband and how they had decorated their beautiful home.

It was then to brave the rain again and say our goodbyes and a big good luck to Rob who is running Royal Parks tomorrow- Go Rob !!!!
