The “Silvier” and merry”Gold” standard
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.
- Saturday, 28th of July 2018
Here's what Mrs S of SW16 had to say about the mission:
Mrs Bahl was happy with the work the runners were able to do in an hour and is able to enjoy her garden more.
Myself and Zoe met on Tooting Common for a pre task run 5km Park Run.
After the run we rehydrated and walked the just over 2km walk Mrs S’s to do a morning garden task.
We were warmly greeted and Mrs S remembered me from a visit earlier this year.
She gave us a list of the tasks she wanted us to complete. Zoe got stuck into weeding the flower beds (full of Silvier and Merrygold flowers) and cutting back the old branches on a bush. I made the short walk to get the lawnmower from Mrs S’s garage.
-Lawnmower plugged in and..... Zoe went into H&S mode when she was worried I was going to take the lawn mower over it’s lead!!!! I am sure I would have spotted that?????
In no time we had two black sacks of garden waste.
A big thank you from Mrs S and we went on our way.
