Pottering about on a sunny Sunday morning

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

On a sunny Sunday morning, two eager GoodGymers (Lucy and Emma) ran to Ms C's house on a mission to tidy her garden.

When we arrived we were met by Ms C's daughter who tasked us with emptying the flower pots that were now filled with weeds, clearing the way for Ms C to replenish her stocks of flowers.

Under the watchful eye of an ornamental gnome, two frogs, a squirrel and several birds, we got stuck in...

Alternating the task of holding the bag open and tipping the contents in, we cleared each and every pot - some were more challenging than others! After a quick sweep up, our mission was complete.

Ms C's daughter couldn't believe that we'd done it all so quickly.

"That would have taken me four or five weeks!" she said

Our mission accomplished, it was time to run back home. We hope that Ms C is able to enjoy her garden again!
