Mission

Weathering Through

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

  • Andreana Sutherland
  • Patrick Fisher Murphy
 
Sunday, 13th of December 2015

We arrived at the job a little early and got to work, the wet weather meant we couldn't use the strimmer but we mucked in anyway, got a couple forks to make use of and went for the roots to the best of our ability. Andreana knew a fair bit more about gardening than me and did a good job keeping everything nice and on track, while it isn't finished, two full bags of roots, weeds and dead plants have been taken care of and the garden is on its way to it's former glory.

Some biscuits that couldn't make it to the Goodgym Christmas party were shared out between the three of us and we had a nice chat with Jeannette about life and her time in London. The garden isn't finished yet, but it is on its way, and on a day with better weather we can hit it even harder.
