Sunday, 3rd of December 2017

As part of their Mission Impossible challenge, Andy, Michelle and Remy rocked up to their first mission near Imperial Wharf. After an short delay eagerly waiting for the golden email with the mission details, we were off to the first one! If Ana reads this, we totally spent that delay doing squats and core-strengthening, honest...

Once we arrived, Mrs T pointed us in the direction of the garden needing some attention, and showed us where the tools were. As part of our Mission Impossible scavenger hunt, we were quick to get pictures of the loppers (5 POINTS!) and fork (5 POINTS!), before getting stuck into the task.

Andy and Remy tackled the greenery coming up through the cracks in the paving, and Michelle started clearing the weeds out of the flowerbeds (which made up the majority of them...). After filling two huge black bags with assorted greenery and fallen leaves, we reported back to a delighted Mrs T, who said what a difference a clear view would make to her life. She also wanted to make a donation to GoodGym as she was so grateful - we all felt sorry we couldn't stay longer and tidy the front garden too, as we had another mission to get to!

We said our goodbyes and sprinted off to our next mission, keeping an eye out for those all important Mission Impossible photo challenges. Anyone seen a chicken shop...? (5 POINTS!)
