I have been wanting to do this mission for a while, I signed up for it twice before but both times had to cancel on the day due to bad weather (second time was storm Amy weekend). Finally the stars aligned and I was able to attend this mission today. Mr K was really welcoming. He showed me a photo of what the front garden had looked like before when he could get out and it was immaculate, he was clearly very proud and it was very sad. He showed me the back garden and I decided that was where I should make a start today while it was dry. I’d need to use the strimmer and the lawn mower so if I can get that bit done in the good weather I can come back and do the weeding in the front another day, even if the weather is bad. Mr K had the most impressive array of garden tools I have ever seen. There was everything I needed and all batteries were fully charged. I hacked away at the tall grass and then used the hover flymo to cut it down. It wasn’t as neat as I would have liked so on my next visit I promised neat stripes! Mr K was really pleased and I felt so happy to help him out. I could really see how important it was to him. Looking forward to returning and finishing the job!
