Here's what Mr W of SE1 had to say about the mission:

'Thank you so much for all your help over the weekend. It was a lovely hot day and the runners were both lovely, they just got on with it and did a great job!'

Mr W of SE1, mission beneficiary

It was a great morning for gardening as Yangki and I met up to lend Mrs B a hand. Her husband Mr W is in hospital at the moment and this was Yangki's 2nd trip to help them out, last time moving some furniture to make space for when Mr W comes home.

Their lovely garden had become a bit overgrown, so we set to work pulling up the weeds that had taken over. We managed to get about halfway down the garden in the time available and having worked out how to use the lawn mower after a few attempts (a dodgy extension cable had us foxed for a while!) left it looking a fair bit tidier.

Great to meet you today Yangki, hope your second mission of the day went well!
