For the last mission of the day, Sevan and Kash ran 5km, with a pit stop for lunch, from Hanger Hill to Greenford for a repeat visit to Mr P, a former Kew Gardens employee, volunteer nature conservationist and generally an avid gardening enthusiast. Mr P's fragile health and limited mobility no longer allowed him to tend to his back garden the way he would like to, so GoodGymers acted as his extra pair (or two) of hands to make his vision reality.

Mr P wasn't feeling great that day, but did his best to stay in the garden for a part of the task and keep GoodGymers company, entertaining them with a chat. He mentioned the parakeets and robins (the latter seen first-hand on the day), nibbling on the bird feeders just in front of his bedroom window, that Mr P could watch in the morning from his bed. The gentleman also made some references to more or less famous places, shows and artists.

Did you hear about an artist called Marcel Duchamp? - Mr P
Yes, rings a bell. Did he create "Fountain"? - Kash
Do you know what it was?
A urinal?

Mr P mentioned Duchamp in the context of his garden, where he collected a variety of items obtained through the art of skip farming. He then transformed the objects into installations by painting them or arranging in intriguing settings, giving them a new life as creative decorations.

In that imaginative environment, Sevan and Kash chiseled a new work of art, shedding the garden's winter skin to shape the space into a spring-ready chapter of life. Both GoodGymers first cut back the ivy, dealing with particularly thick and difficult to access roots, which Sevan eventually defeated with conveniently bendy saw. Sevan also used his height to cut back the rogue shoots of a rose bush and Kash tidied up the garden of old, rotten planks and plastic containers.

80 minutes into the mission, it was time to pack the green wheelie bin and the composter, leaving no more space inside them. For Sevan and Kash, it was a perfect finale before running back home and letting Mr P have his lie-in to feel a bit better.
