Squashed Tomatoes and Sheds

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

My first mission! I met my fellow GG Yorkie Leanne outside bang on time, excited to pop my mission cherry, and we were welcomed by the lovely Mrs B.

She needed her garden shed painting with wood preserver and hadn't been able to get this done for some time. Showing us to the shed and the paint, we were informed we could drip all we liked at the front, but gave us a sheet for the back patio - which was very lucky given the drippy paint and our over-enthusiasm!

We made short work of the painting, chatting marathon training as we worked, and as we showed Mrs B the results made the mistake of mentioning how good her tomato plants looked. She then insisted on filling a little bag for each of us to take home. We must have got some funny looks on the way home, as our tomatoes gently got to work turning into sauce..

Mrs B was really pleased with her shiny shed and her first introduction to GG, marvelling at how far Leanne had run to get here. We may well be invited back soon to help tend to those wonderful veggies!
