Two GoodGymers walked after work to Mr. V's house to help with the overgrown backyard. The lovely Mrs. A looked quizzical after we introduced ourselves; she thought, "people from the Fit Gym were coming to help"! We explained it's Good (and why) and promised we're working on getting Fit as well 💪 💪

They gave us tools and asked if we could focus on the gravel patch between the garage and shed. While the elderly residents manage to do some gardening, it's the weeds on the ground level which neither can get to. There was a lot of trowelling, pulling weeds with bulbs and regular straightening of backs; it didn't look like much but by the end of the hour, we had half a green bin full. Since we had time, we cleaned up in front of the garage as well.

While Diya went to let them know we were done, Kanika broomed the area we had worked on. Both Mr. V and Mrs. A were very thankful and said this had made a big difference. They can now put weed killer to prevent more from coming back. Mr. V called us a "couple of angels" 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹

Job well done, the two good doers walked home in the light rain, even identifying a hugely overgrown pathway that could do with a swarm of GoodGym-ers. Kanika will discuss with Amy to see if it can be set up as a task.
