On a hot Saturday afternoon in Swiss Cottage, two visitors from GoodGym Ealing, Sevan and Kash, enjoyed shade, cool water and Mrs G's soul and trance playlist in her back garden.

In return, they chopped away a patch of young bamboo plants that had come to Mrs G's garden out of nowhere and, since then, plagued the space, restricting the lady's access to the watering cans and outdoor water tap. Another nuisance in the garden was the rose bushes, which, although beautiful with the red and pink flowers, grew out of control and had to be trimmed and tied to the fence.

After raising and securing the fallen rose branches and packing and piling the trimmings, the two GoodGymers were done for the day and set off back to Ealing, leaving the grateful Mrs G to enjoy the transformed garden.
