I toad you that I wasn't very good with puns.
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Wandsworth.

Here's what Ms B of SW15 had to say about the mission:
Ms B called to say how happy she was with the work the two runners did and how tidy they were and left things. She said it had been brilliant help. Great job!
This mission began with Chris and I meeting after both running 8k from opposite directions. After the usual chit chat and introductory, we were presented with the wonderfully charming Mrs B. She kindly offered us a hot beverage which we declined at first but later accepted but that's another story. So in the garden we went and the tasks were simple. There were two sections of this cute little garden where certain plants required a serious trim so they can regrow next year. Whilst we started on opposite sections with conversation and work naturally flowing I had a moment of fear, whilst trimming away I came across a frog hiding underneath. Let's say it surprised me but my main concern was that I had cut it whilst trimming, but fear not people, it wasn't the case. Chris stepped in, posed and handled with care moved the little fella. After that we cracked on, finished the tasks and that's when we accepted the second proposal for tea and coffee (a Nespresso machine from Christmas I believe). The three of us sat down and had some good old chin wag which was pleasant. Mrs B was so impressed with the distance we ran, the job done and the whole GoodGym operation. So big cheers all round!!!!
