Conquer-eting the patio
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Saturday, 20th of April 2019
Here's what Ms A of BR1 had to say about the mission:
Mr s A called to say that a huge thanks for helping in her garden. She said "It really does change your quality of life, even this morning I looked outside at the garden and I could breathe again. If I was fit I would join your organisation!"
On a glorious morning, Emma and I met to help Ms A in Beckenham.
Ms A is a proficient gardener and had a beautiful garden, with only a few weeds. When we had sought out all the weeds we could, we "set" to concreting the gaps in the patio so no more could pop up.
Ms A was very pleased, and commented how one fewer, little thing to worry about will make all the difference. With a quick prune of a bush on the way out, we went on our way.
And we met a nice cat :)

Well done both; it's great not just tackling an issue but being able to do something that will pre-empt that issue in future! (Solid cat photo, too, 10/10)
