Hedge wanted a leaf fade

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

Mrs. P had recently lost her husband and so I called her to make sure everything I could/should come over this morning and she told me she wanted me to.

I jumped on my bike and cycled over to hers. I met her at her door as she handed over the tools to trim back the hedges that had overgrown. She had a power tool - a hedge trimmer. I was confident to use it and took 20 minutes to trim back the hedges to almost branch level (as per her instructions). However, towards the end I accidentally cut the cord with the trimmer. I told her I was willing to pay for the damage, but she told me not to worry about it and gave me a Coke instead 👀

I used the next 40 minutes to clean up all the trimmings into five black bin liners. Mrs. Patel was grateful for all the work and off I went to the next mission.
