Mission

Tearing up the terrace

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

Sunday, 28th of May 2017

Overcoming some minor travelling issues from no trains to wrong turns we managed to find Ms J on time on this sunny Sunday morning. Ms J explained that last week two lovely Goodgym ladies (her words!) made a start on the garden, which she regrettably couldnt quite keep as tidy as she liked. It was now up to Rodney & myself to pick up where they left off and see what we could get done. Having the height advantage over the ladies we got started with stripping the ivy from the fence at the front, filling up a bag in no time at all. While i went after some brambles near the gate Rodney started on the terrace/patio area, where we stripped grass & weeds from between the tiles so Ms J could get about her lovely garden a bit better. Before we knew it an hour and a half flew by chatting about all sorts, time to move on after another lovely chat with Ms J. Although we got quite a bit done, there is still a bit more to do, so mission #3 should be in the pipeline soon!
