Three of us helped Mr A clear a path round to his back garden, under the watchful supervision of his cat. We welcomed Phoebe to her first GoodGym mission, which appeared quite daunting at first. The path had become overgrown with brambles but Mr A had plenty if loppers to help us and we soon got it under control. Nearly two hours, a full green bin, 15 bin bags and a lot of scratches later we had cleared the path and the way through the back garden and around the bench. Mr A told us all to go home and have a nice coffee because we'd earnt it. However he could definitely do with a second mission to clear the brambles further and neaten up the garden for them.
