Holland Heroes
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.
- Wednesday, 13th of November 2019
I am sure it doesn't happen that often that two Goodgymming Dutchies in London get paired up.... let alone twice!
I had again the pleasure of meeting up with the lovely Robin, this time to help clear furniture and make space for a hospital bed so Ms H could come home.
A friend of Ms H (confusingly also H) met us at location and explained what needed to be done. With her and a cousin taking care of the smaller things, Robin & myself set to clearing a variety of side tables, a couch, comfy chair and all sorts of other items. In double quick time the room as cleared & swept, ready for a bed.
A grateful Ms H (the friend) was very interested to find out more about Goodgym, so we did our best to advertise all the good sides of the Red Army. Ms H seemed impressed and will be in touch if there are more jobs that need doing!
With a 'tot ziens' we went on our separate ways again.... who knows, there might be a third installment of the Orange army in the future!
