On their second visit to Ms A's garden, Sevan and Kash were welcomed by sunshine and tall, wet grass. The latter didn't allow them to use electrical equipment to mow the lawn, as Ms A was worried about their safety. Skipping grass cutting wasn't such a big deal since Ms A had a paved path overgrown with long weeds, encroached by ivy and brambles from the neighbour's garden. That was a perfect place to make a visible difference, reducing trip hazards and Ms A's anxiety about the state of her garden.

The sunny weather did not last long. The storm that had caught Sevan and Kash in Osterley on their previous mission was hard on their heels and caught them in South Ealing. The GoodGymers hid under the stairs during the worst downpour to listen to the thunder in the distance and watch the wall of rain. Those few minutes of hiatus were a good opportunity to finish their coffee and think about a side project: pulling the weeds from under the stairs.

The rainfall did not last long. Soon, Sevan and Kash were back on the path in the drizzle, then in full sun again. The storm has not returned since, and the two finished clearing the paved way leading to another garden at the back. The last challenge was to squeeze all the garden waste into the three green bags, each already about halfway full.
