Easy mow for sure but easy come-maybe not so much. After a Google maps incident which took me to the wrong address we managed a cheat card (uber to mission) which got me there fairly quick and enough time to get stuck into the task.

Robin was already stuck in with weeding the garden with a trowel and I took over while she started weeding the flower beds. Beautiful lillies blossomed over summer Mrs. R said but not they need to be cut back for the winter.

After the weeding and pruning was complete we set to work putting down weed killer accross the grass and then the mowing started. Myself and Robin loved the smell of freshly cut grass Mrs. R was of a different opinion and preferred the smell of flowers. Can't argue that!

After the mowing was done and the grass looked a little more clean cut we gathered up the grass and popped in a big heavy bag we needed to transport into the wheel bin... By handful, by handful. Robin got stuck in (see evidence proof in photos) stomping the weeds to make some extra space.

Mrs. R was delighted with her garden. And said 'I am so happy'. She gave us a can of ginger beer and a 7up for good measure!

All done! Thanks for the company and your patience Robin🙌 and see you soon!
