We didn’t mince our words but weed got a lot done!

On an icy Saturday morning, i collected Aimee for our GoodGym filled Saturday. First up...a mission to Mrs A.

We arrived at Mrs A’s house after a little slip sliding in the icy conditions. Mrs A gave us a warm welcome and after some introductions, she explained our mission. Mrs A had always been a keen gardener and showed us a wonderful array of colourful photos of her garden in the past. Due to a back condition, Mrs A was struggling to keep her garden weed free and wanted our help to remove some of those pesky weeds. Mrs A took us through the House towards the garden but introduced us to her ‘lodger’ on the way...a life size cardboard cut out of Idris Elba!

Under the watchful eye of Ideis, we started our work. The weeds were small but we dig deep and removed as many as we could. During our weeding, Aimee and I chatted about the day ahead. Our next GoodGym related task was to help Nathan achieve his New Years resolution to climb Pen y Fan. The overnight snow would make for an interesting walk. We hoped we would have enough time to get home and glam up for the inaugural GoodGym Cardiff Christmas party!

Mrs A came to check on our progress and suggested it was time for a cuppa and a mince pie. Both were gratefully received! We had a lovely chat with Mrs A about her collection of Father Christmas decorations. Mrs A switched Father Christmas on and he began to play a lovely Christmas tune.

Mrs A explained that she really appreciated our help and would be asking for us to come back again.

It was time to bid farewell to Mrs A and Idris ready for our sub zero hike to the top of Pen Y Fan!
