Goodgym Bromley's Louise and I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Ms A on Saturday morning. She has a nice little garden, which has become a struggle to look after due to her having limited mobility. As about half the garden is laid with a patio, it was largely a question of giving it a bit of a tidy, and digging up the weeds that had taken over the back. Fortunately there are a few mature shrubs and a couple of rose bushes (including one that makes use of a SCART lead to keep it in place, which we thought was pretty imaginative as re-uses go) that should provide a bit of colour in the spring and Ms A can enjoy her view.

Great to meet you Louise, really enjoyed chatting as we weeded! Hope to see you again (let's see if I can make it to a Bromley run one day...)
