I cycled over to Hounslow to help a lovely lady to tidy her back garden. Recently her garden had become a little too lively — the weeds have taken centre stage, and foxes were starting to treat it like their personal playground. Understandably, Mrs M was worried that her once-loved garden was being overrun and the weeds would quickly grow out of control.

Luckily Mrs M had had wood chip laid previously and with the recent rain weeds were easy to uproot. What started as several overgrown patches slowly transformed into a tidier space.

After turning the soil I said goodbye to Mrs M and left her to enjoy her afternoon.
