We Were Stung Into Action

On a dry afternoon Anne and Matthew attended a lovely lady, who is caring for her husband and needed help with her garden as some of the jobs were just beyond her. With two dogs on hand to help us, (if licking people and sitting in the way is helping - they were both really cute though), we got cracking pulling out all sorts of weeds, mainly stinging nettles. We both felt the small stings from the nettles and it was only at the end that we were able to really see the results of said nettles with a healthy array of blotches all over us.

We managed to clear a great deal of weeds and generally tidy up the patio area and collected a large pile of greenery for re-cycling. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours and to help a couple who really needed it. It would be nice to go back and finish the job if the owners want more help but what we did was gratefully received.
