Coffee + Cookies + a bit of Gardening = Successful Task!
7 GoodGymers made their way to help the Age UK Wiltshire in Swindon.
- Tuesday, 6th of October 2020
- Led by Helen Saville
We arrived to carry out Part Two of our mission to help tidy up the garden area outside Age UK in Swindon. We were met by Matt, the Manager, who briefly explained the work they had been doing during Covid to stay connected with their older clients, by providing a meals on wheels service. 🍲
We welcomed Paul, our newest GG joiner (also a Bassett Hound). We then set to, clipping hedges 🌳 and pulling weeds 🌾before the dark and rain set in. 🌧
Have to make mention here of the “GGGB” .... Gina’s Green Gardening Bag. It makes an appearance at most outdoor events now, and is a welcome sight. Keep your eyes open for it!
Matt kindly came round half way through the task taking tea/coffee orders (latte or cappuccino!!) with cookies no less! 🍪
We followed up the task with a chat in the very lovely coffee bar in the Centre. We’ll be back, if only for the cookies!
