With these secateurs we did trim....

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

: Saturday, 18th of August 2018

Here's what Mrs B of SE21 had to say about the mission:

Ms B wanted to thank the runners who did such a good job in her garden and have made it look a lot better. Thanks Goodgym!

Mrs B of SE21, mission beneficiary

Myself and Charlotte arrived for a mornings gardening on a cool summer morning (I had to check the correct door number after searching for a door number that did not exist)

We were greeted by Mrs B and she explained the tasks she would like us to do.

A secateur each we started the garden trim.

We cut back several overgrown weeds and bushes: Clearing them a away from a ground floor window, and branches overhanging onto the pavement at the front of the garden.

We gave the garden a good tidy up removing weeds, and raking the leaves away.

Two hours flew by black sacks, and a compost bin full of garden waste.

Mrs B thanked us for doing the tasks unfortunately she can no longer do herself.

We said our goodbyes and started our runs home thinking of lunch....
