R&R arrived a little late at Ms B's - waylaid with bike maintenance and collecting a foster cat! A little late but very keen, and Ms B was pleased to see us.

Clearly very houseproud, Ms B used to be able to maintain her garden herself, and it's only in the past couple of years that her knees have meant she can't bend down and do it. Enter GoodGym!

We popped round to the garage to get the lawnmower, and then Ms B supervised our gardening activities so we got it just how she wanted, all the while we were chatting away about fostering cats, joining GoodGym, and running halves and marathons.

First of all we lifted a creeper up to get it into the right position, then we weeded the flower beds, which had some lovely bright orange marigolds in them. Next up we did some pruning, and finally finished the job mowing the lawn!

The front garden was back looking neat and tidy and Ms B was delighted, and we'd accomplished something useful before lunchtime.

The rain stayed away and we even had a bit of sun. This was Rachel's first mission and I'm pretty sure she enjoyed the gardening and the cat and running chat!
