A cut above the rest...
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Liverpool.
- Sunday, 31st of July 2022
Mr J had tended his garden until a stroke and arthritis in his wrists put paid to any digging or heavy lifting.
Using a mower and strimmer, he had been able to keep on top of things...now, however, his gardens were looking a little neglected and overgrown.
Arriving on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I thought about half an hour would see the job done.
However, as a result of the bus strike, Mr J had been unable to go out to get blades for his mower, or string for his strimmer...and so it was that I found myself on my hands and knees, trimming the grass with a small pair of hand shears.
An hour and a half later, I had cut back overgrown bushes and trimmed the grass (as best I could) , removing weeds as I went.
Mr J was very grateful and even came out to lend a hand...raking and bagging the off cuts.
Another very happy customer!
