Mrs J wanted her patio weeded and an overgrown thorny bush trimmed back - I got halfway through, with most of the weeds pulled but was bested by the prickly tree - will return with thicker gloves and finish the job!

Mr C is a proud and skilled gardener with a big terraced section near archway. Unfortunately between illness and other stressors he has been unable to muck in and the garden has become seriously overgrown

Over 2 hours I was able to pull maybe 15% of the vines and weeds, including a dreaded blackberry bush, but would need to return to tackle the tier.

Mr C would like ultimately for the large section with stepping stones in the middle to be accessible again, for the plants to be cut back so that they're seperate and the leaf litter swept up. There is no plan for the green-waste at this stage so I've left 3 big bags at the bottom.

Mr C then hopes to engage a builder to make new steps

Id be more than happy to arrange to come back through Mr Cs nephew next week - but this might even be a job too big for goodgym!

Mr B had spent a princely sum putting pavers in his back yard but sadly these had become over run by vines

We managed to pull and bag these then sweep the area. he was pleased with the results

Mr S has a smart TV but as described no internet connection. Discussed possibilities including adding a broadband connection to his current phone plan with BT or going with another provider. He would also like to start a netflix subscription.

Mr S will discuss with BT, and will get back in touch with Age UK when he is ready to take next steps re: setting up internet and smart TV and downloading requested apps.

I forgot to take a picture again!

Mrs A had a fall a couple years ago and needed help with weeding her front and back yards. Over 1.5hrs the yards were weeded and leaf litter swept up. Mrs A would like help with planting some plants in the empty planters next but is happy with the progress.

I forgot to take a picture so here's me meeting some cheeky NZ parots (Kea)
