The long and winding hose

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hounslow.

I arrived at Mrs C’s on a glorious sunny morning, a couple of rings on the doorbell but there was no answer. After a quick call on the house phone it turned out that Mrs C likes the tv turned up and she’d not heard the bell. What initially looked like a small and busy garden with lots of pots and wind chimes turned out to be 4 times as long as it initially looked. With the chimes blowing in the breeze I set to work tidying up the areas Mrs C had pointed out and clearing some pesky bind weed which was threatening to take over Mrs C’s garden.

After an hour of clearing and attempting to use Mrs C’s extra extra long hose we had a quick debrief, only for Mrs C to show me that the hose wasn’t in full spray mode oops! The watering was done in record time after that.
