Rake it and Leaf it
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Saturday, 29th of December 2018
It's Saturday, Christmas is over and the New Year is approaching which means one final GoodGym mission. Right? Of course. That's exactly what Shan and I had decided and gLEAFully accepted to do. After my 22k run to the rendezvous point and recovering with a flapjack, Shan arrived to greet me promptly on time, fresh from his car journey. Just as quick as our greeting was, we were practica-leaf-inished in the same amount of time. We basically had to rake the leaves up, bag it and tidy up. We rapid-leaf-ormed a pile of the leaves to dispose of to the approval of Mr J carer. Mr J was unfortunately not present but the carer had told us that Mr J wished for the leaves to be gone so the grass can grow back and he can enjoy his garden again. His carer updated Mr J with photos of our work, LEAFing a good impression. Mr J responded that he couldn't wait to return home and spend time outside again. After a little general chit chat Shan kindly offered me a LEAF to a station that we never heard off (Subdury Hill), my legs greatly appreciated it, the journey even allowed me time to write this report and that's where our short story ends and where we LEAF as I've just arrived back in Brixton.
