In the second instalment of this mission to clear Mr C's front garden, four GG Yorkies went into battle with quite possibly the most weeds that any of them had ever seen in one place.

Armed with loppers and shears, Sean and Egg tackled some overgrown bushes, Lizzie went into hand to hand combat with the prolific grassy weeds, and Leanne took a more scatter gun approach, pulling up anything within reach.

In 2. hours of combat there was only one casualty (a pair of gardening gloves) and some minor flesh wounds. We discovered a rockery, uncovered a gravel lawn, and filled 11 bin bags and 2 green bins with weeds.

Mr C was delighted with the results and told us that we'd cheered him right up.

Nice work team!
