Weedy does it

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

Two GG Yorkies met to help Mr B, who had lost both his front and back garden to weeds.

Vikki, who was on her first ever mission, got straight to it by pulling up the Mares Tail that had overtaken the front garden. It soon became apparent that there was a path hiding beneath all the weeds, so I set to work scraping away the moss and debris from the paving stones to reveal some crazy paving that Mr B had laid many years ago.

An hour later, we'd made some great progress on the front garden, but the green bin was full, and the green waste was piling up by the side of the garden, so we decided to call it a day.

Mr B was very happy with what we managed to get done!
