Relight my garden
2 GoodGymers made their way 8.0km to help an isolated older person in Greenwich.
- Saturday, 2nd of September 2017
Two runners (Sean and Deb) ran to help clear Mrs C's garden which had become a bit unruly in her absence. We tooled up and took to grappling with overgrown vines and clearing the pathways which Mrs C had informed us had become littered with knocked over garden ornaments by meddling foxes.
Clearing the drooping vines revealed Mrs C's magnificent array of different lights and we took care to ensure we were snipping just vines and not cables! We traced the cables back to their route and reassured Mrc C that they were all still in place and ready to go.
Six bags of rubbish and a slight mishap with a broken broom later and we had completed our task and headed back inside to inform Mrs C of our efforts. Pleased with our good work Mrs C had just one further query - her telephone wasn't ringing properly and displaying the date/time.
Deb turned tech wizard and with the help of the manual was able to correct Mrs C's phone and get her reconnected to her family and friends. Mrs C was absolutely delighted and after a quick chat and a stroke of Mrs C's cats we were on our way!
