Mission

Weeding success

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

Saturday, 1st of August 2015

We met on a sunny Saturday morning and headed over to Ena's house where there were weeds aplenty in her back garden. For one it was a trip south of the river to a borough never before seen. Visiting about common interests made the work breeze by in no time.

An hour of hard work ripping them all up and getting rid of the vines that were strangling her treasured Yucca plant seemed to make Ena happy and we bounced off again to get on with the rest of our day. Brightening someone else's day helped brighten ours!
