Mr B had a problem. Unable to tend to his garden, the bushes round the front had grown out of control. He needed someone to lend a helping hand. And thankfully, GoodGym was able to do just that!

Along come Alex, having just celebrated her fiftieth Parkrun, and Sarah, to save the day (after initially getting lost and ending up at the wrong address...). Immediately they went to work trimming away the various bushes, turning over the soil and even a touch of weeding in the tough ground. After roughly an hour the front garden was looking pretty neat, so Mr B invited them round the back to help tidy up some more hedges and clear away some dead plants.

As they worked, Alex and Sarah drank tea and water, respectively, ate biscuits and discussed everything from weekend plans to upcoming races. In almost no time at all the back garden was also neatly cleaned up, with Alex even managing to pull out a dead stem large enough to use as a weapon (not that we condone violence, obviously)! It was time to say goodbye to Mr B and his wife, and head home.
