Tingly arms, roots so big they popped up in unexpected places and a hidden wasp nest were amongst the surprises for today’s epic challenge.

We met up in the hidden gem of Brunswick Cemetery to attack the plethora of unwanted gubbins taking over the garden. Oww, yank, oww. Those nettles did not like being pulled out! And now a brief interlude:

Bind weed entwined.
Weed not mind.
If bind weed find.
Unwind bind.
Bin bags lined.

Two hours working on the various areas made a huge difference with still more to do on another visit.

It was a lovely day to be outside and afterwards we had a picnic and surveyed all we had achieved. And relax.

Until next time :)
