A hoe lotta weeding
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.
- Saturday, 21st of October 2023
Here's what Mrs S of BS15 had to say about the mission:
From referrer: "Thank you for your help Charlene."
I was pleasantly greeted by Mrs S this morning, who was in need of some gardening jobs.
We were both pleasantly surprised that we both speak the same dialect of Chinese, and that it was a nice coincidence that I was on this mission! She provided me with a trusty shovel and digging hoe (which is just the best tool ever!) and I got to it. There truly is a skill to using a digging hoe well, and I (and my muscles) discovered that well today!!
One of the two patches of the garden had been accomplished in weeding and soil turned, ready for planting some veggies that she once used the area for.
As I was finishing off clearing up, she magically produced a delicious bowl of noodle soup for me and we had a lovely natter.
