Smells like weed spirit - I'm worse at what I do best
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Saturday, 25th of May 2019
This bank holiday weekend, two goodgymmers (Vic and Mridula (me)) went over to the Marvellous Mrs M's house to clear some weeds. It was a glorious day so the pollen was out in full count so whilst it was a slightly itchy experience, it was still fun! Gardening missions are not my strong point having been a lifelong apartment dweller and plant killer, but having Vic by my side made the task a lot easier. We had a little chat with Mrs M, and we discovered at one point that afternoon her house was filled with 4 generations of her family! Post a quick pet of her cat, Vic and I headed off into the lovely sunshine. We decided to take a post mission detour to Surrey Docks Farm where we learnt about the machinations of chicken breeding (more complicated and scandalous than you think), and I found some enormous broad beans to cook for dinner! Thanks for a fun afternoon Vic!

Sounds like a lovely day - well done, both. We won't ask about the :chicken: :rooster: situation!
And sounds like you're better at keeping plants alive than I am with emojis!
