Ms S needed to get her garden mowed so be able to enjoy sitting in it again.

The garden was mainly over grown grass with some blackberry bushes that needed to be trimmed back.

Ms S got me the lawnmower and I started mowing away. Suddenly little critters which turned out to be baby frogs started escaping the mass destruction of their home (sorry).

Ms S showed me the steam which runs at the back of her house that causes the frogs to reside in her front garden. She also says when it rains and the water rises she sees many different colours and sizes of them jump into her backyard.

After mowing the lawn we started cutting the bushes who weren't afraid give a few little jabs back also. It was worth it though as we also got taste some of the lovely blackberries.

Now with the yard clear Ms S is looking forward to sitting outside with her grandkids again.
