Minds (and hands) in the gutter

Team Gover jogged over on a thankfully dry morning to help Mrs A with her leaf-clogged gutters. We first inspected the problem from above (out a window) - apparently since the request some of the leaves had been blown out in the bad weather, but there were still a lot in there!

It quickly became apparent we'd done well to bring a Tall Person, so I footed the ladder while Rich cleared the leaves and trimmed back the overly keen Virginia creeper. We swapped over for the lower gutters and soon had a good bucketful of squidge, including one very settled flower complete with homemade soil and a resident worm. A quick swish with the hosepipe got the gutters running again nicely!

We then rewarded ourselves with a nice cup of tea and a lovely chat with Mrs A.
