Here's what Mrs N of NW10 had to say about the mission:

From referrer: Many thanks to the volunteer for her hard work. She did a brilliant job considering the lack of equipment so well done!

Mrs N of NW10, mission beneficiary

I met Mrs N on a chilly Sunday afternoon and the task at hand was clear upon arrival - a very overgrown front garden! First of all I picked all the litter that was around, seems that sadly maybe some passers by are throwing trash in there. Then I had to figure out how to use Mrs N's lawn mower. I managed to get it going but it was a tricky process as it wasn't fully functional and the grass and weeds were SO LONG. I soon realised I was only going to get half the garden done so I concentrated on doing the best I could on one side. Once I'd finished butchering the grass I tried to spruce things up by getting up as much of the weeds, grass and moss that was growing in between the paving stones. Once I'd done as much as I could I swept and bagged everything up to try and make it look as neat as I could, but it will definitely need more work! Mrs N was very grateful for the help.
