Mound about there please!
3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.
- Sunday, 18th of July 2021
On a very hot day, Dave Rich and I arrived at Mrs Js to level off the garden. Turned out that there had been a bit of 're-landscaping' previously and this had left Mrs J with gravel distributed across pretty much the whole garden and a rather large 'mound' right in the middle which was blocking her access.
There was also a weed issue along one side, blocking a gate so Rich got cracking on that while I removed the weeds on top of the mound and Dave cleared a space lower down the garden where we could re-locate the excess earth
It was hot work but Mrs J kept us supplied with bubble gum ice lollies and in no time we were all working together to shovel off earth from the raised area and rake it level.
Mrs J was very pleased with the results so it seemed like an afternoon well spent.
