Here's what Ms M of SW15 had to say about the mission:

Mrs M called to say how impressed she was with the runners who turned up and got on with the job with a smile on their faces. Said how grateful she was as she's no longer able to do the weeding herself and wanted to pass on her thanks. Great job, guys!

Chris and I met up at a very excited Mrs Ms house to help tidy up her garden. She is able to keep the plants cut back but can’t reach the patio herself and it had some bamboo type plants growing around the edges. The front needed a little tidy too and I perfected my topiary skills by cutting a bush into a nice shape. It was quite quick so we had time for a tea and coffee and hear about Mrs Ms old running club in Richmond park.
