Georgeta and Sheila took over from the great work started by Diya and Kanika in Mr A's garden. Georgeta immediately took charge of the large privet hedge, using a smaller hedge trimmer than before to trim the remaining area. By the end of the session it was looking beautifully neat and tidy, and Mr A was delighted with the result. Georgeta then made short work of pruning the Buddleia to a more manageable size. Sheila tried to tame the lawn using the petrol-driven strimmer, which turned out to be a bit of a beast. but still could not cope with the tough, long, wet grass and so resorted to using the shears instead. Not a bowling-green finish, unfortunately, but looking a lot better than at the start. A quick litter-pick round the bottom of the hedges improved the vista no end. The green bins were filled to the brim - we will have to make a return visit to finish cutting up and disposing of the remaining prunings. Mr A was extremely grateful for our efforts and we enjoyed having the opportunity to make a difference for him
