Aussie hands make light work

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.

Two Aussie girls spend an enjoyable 90 minutes between rain showers tidying up Ms C's garden. The garden was looking a little wild over the winter and needed some weeding done and the grass cut.

We worked on the front garden weeding the garden bed and pavers. Then we moved to the back of the house to continue weeding the garden beds and pavers. Once that was the done we pondered how to mow the grass was almost a foot high. We found a push reel mower in the shed but the grass was too long and we couldn't get it moving. We improvised with a set of garden shears, we essentially gave the grass a hair cut! It wasn't the most uniform length but it was certainly better than when we started.

Ms C and her husband were really pleased with the final result and may now even be able to plant some herbs for the summer.
