Clearing brambles for Mr B
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Tuesday, 24th of October 2017
Lucia and I met outside Mr B's house just as it was getting dark. Mr B was outside the front door, waiting to welcome us.
The garden still needs a lot of work but Mr B told us that it has improved massively since GoodGym first started arriving.
We set about gathering up all the bramble clippings into buckets and transfering them into his brown bin. In no time at all, the bin was full to bursting! We spent a bit more time gathering up more clippings into a pile for the next GoodGym-ers.
While there is still lots to do, hopefully we helped make a bit of progress towards Mr B having a nice garden. Mr B is very pleased with the progress, thanking us for our work before sending us on our way.

Well done both! Mr B wasn't kiddding when he said the garden has improved since the first good gym run. Here is the report with the "before" photos https://www.goodgym.org/reports/we-ve-wheelie-bin-trying-to-clear-up-the-garden
Glad he is still getting the help he needs. :)
