Mission

Opening the magic tool shed

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.

A nice garden tidying task, with lots of ivy to clear. I guess I left the garden looking more untidy, but Mrs R and her daughter were happy all the same, because I left them with:

A huge pile of ivy and some leylandii in the middle - and a suggestion to get her son to move it under some trees for composting, rather than bother get it all bagged up as garden waste

A small pond which I'm glad I hadn't stepped into before I'd removed the ivy which completely covered it

A tool shed packed with stuff, much quite useful, but which you couldn't really get into with all the ivy, completely emptied

Its contents sorted and set out over some paving, ready for some to be junked, some put back, some given away perhaps.

It really was progress, and it was nice to see Mrs R smiling at the end
