So this was part two of getting Ms G’s (my Coach) garden finished before winter sets in.

Unfortunately Kirsty was unable to help due to an injury so Tracey (with an e) stepped in at the eleventh hour. Becky also ran to the venue straight from work. By this time the rain was falling steadily.

Ms G was pleased to see us (as was Mac the dog) and thanked us for our help. We got on with the weeding task and chatted whilst we cleared the patio. It soon started pouring and we were soaked through to all parts of our clothing!

The patio looked so much better after filling three bags with weeds (well we think it did - it was getting a bit dark by now)! We cleared up and waved Becky off to run all those miles back home in the downpour.... that’s dedication! Luckily she checked in on WhatsApp that her ‘swim’ home was successful.

Mac was very grateful for his garden being cleared 🐶

Well done everyone; an absolute transformation in the rain! I'm sure your Coach and her dog were very happy afterwards Helen :-) x
