I (can't) feel it in my fingers, I (can't) feel it in my toes. Snow is all around me, so the (lack of) feeling grows.
3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.

It was a bit chilly* but that wasn't going to stop three determined GoodGymmers from the mission in hand. Exciting link
Given that paint needs 10 degrees to dry and we were in a windchill of -7, we were our usual flexible selves as we met for coffee to defrost our fingers before taking on different brushstrokes to clear Mrs J's path and drive of gorgeous fluffy snow. Fortunately, Debs was mega prepared and brought along a brilliant broom (Mission member 5) and shovel. Plus a drone and drone operator (Mission members 6 and 7)! Mrs J's tools were snowed-in to her shed and she was astounded we'd managed to get to her.
In clearing the top of the car, Melanie may** have swept quite a lot of the powdery stuff directly into Alex. Purely accidentally***.
We had a mega snow"ball" fight with the snow that wouldn't stick into balls but was brilliant fun.
Before long, we were joined by SnowGymmer (Mission member 4), with Alex bravely allowing a valuable layer of clothing to be lent for the purposes of ace-report-photoing.
Whilst Debs' feet were toasty in the-best-snow--boots-ever-made, Alex and Melanie had lost quite a lot of feeling so it was time to defrost again with a round of hot drinks at the coffee shop.
Best ever mission :-) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_7-DpVr2PYKYQqCpRGf82JgTD1wSrvau/view?usp=sharing
