Mission

I’m leafing on a wet train, don’t know when I’ll be back again...

It wasn’t so much black Friday as wet Wednesday, when Jamie and Ian paired up near the centre of town to help Mrs S with her enormous garden!

Mrs S and her husband have a beautiful garden and the main problem at this time of year is fallen leaves which covered the grass, decking and paths. Mrs S had recently managed to clear some away but was hoping we could improve on it and provided us with rakes and brooms.

Did I mention it was raining? The leaves stuck to everything so it took a long time to gather them together in a wheelie bin and leaf an impression on the garden. It was a releaf when the rain stopped and the sun finally came out.

Mrs S was very grateful and we had an interesting chat with Mr S as we finished up.
