Good, Good, GoodGym of the Jungle!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.
- Sunday, 9th of September 2018
When Mrs V contacted GoodGym's offices to arrange a mission run, she described her back garden as a bit of a jungle. Thankfully this jungle was no match for Bristol runners David and Alex, who had the jungle under control in no time!
Our runners arrived this afternoon following busy mornings, with David having completed another mission run, and Alex having returned from a weekend in London.
Mrs V then explained the situation: she wanted her lawn mowed and a few out of control bushes cut back. Armed with a mower, a set of shears and some clippers, Dave and Alex got to work on the front garden.
The front garden completed in almost no time, Dave and Alex moved round the back to do more of the same. The back garden was larger, but our runners toiled hard to tame the jungle. While working away, Mrs V gave them tea and Twix bars to make sure they didn't run out of steam! By the end, much more light was able to get in to Mrs V's back room, and our runners even helped to put together a food trolly for her before seeing her off.
