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

Less than 2km away and behind a door I used to walk past on my commute every day was the lovely Ms S and a slightly unruly garden. I was told it would be "tidying up some sticks and twigs" but she had been left with entire trees (!!) covering her entire garden so was unable to sit outside and enjoy the sun. It was just me and a very blunt set of secateurs and 90mins. Breaking up the trees and stuffing as many of the small bits into gardening bags and stacking up the big logs out the way the time went very quickly. Even not being able to finish the whole task, Ms S was incredibly grateful for the bit I did do and was ready to set up her chair on the newly cleared patch of patio. Hopefully someone will be able to go back and finish off soon.
