Reducing the weeds
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Windsor and Maidenhead.
- Tuesday, 7th of November 2023
Sheila went to help Mrs O, who is a lovely lady in her late 80s, and can no longer manage the garden. The front garden has been gravelled over, but the weeds, especially the oxalis, is taking over, and this was getting her down. Her gardener had to give up for medical reasons, and she has tried to find a replacement but they seem to be in short supply. So, Goodgym to the rescue! While I worked, a neighbour stopped to chat, and remarked 'If 100 young people like you (I'll take that!) all gave an hour of their time, you could help 100 people'. I totally agree! Mrs O was very grateful for my efforts and was surprised by the pile of weeds that I had accumulated.

Well done, young lady! 😍
If 100 young people were like you Sheila then we could help 1000 people, but 100 would be good! Well done for helping Mrs O x
