Miss J needed some help in the garden to make it safe for her little dog Archie to play outside without being able to escape under the hedge to the outside world.

So to clear some space to work in the hedge sides got a trim and then metal stakes were hammered in along the length of it. The plastic mesh netting was then threaded onto the stakes nice and neatly to make a solid barrier that should stop little Archie sneaking out for adventures.

A small tree got a bit of a trim too and the garden space was left nice and neat and tidy, ready for Miss J to add some seating and have a nice outdoor space to enjoy for the rest of the summer.

With heatwaves gone but summer still burning away without any rain, the young orchard at Wigmore Park was in need of a good watering as the trees were showing signs of stress, that is until we arrived in force to help Konni from the Luton Orchards project give them all a good drink.

After running to meet in the orchard our team of six went back and forth giving each of the 60+ trees twenty litres of water to get them through the dry spell. when they were all done Konni kindly refreshed us with some of last year's apple juice, made from apples collected from all over Luton!

Tonight was the first session for Andy who put in a strong run and made a good effort on the task, a very welcome new addition to the team, well done Andy!

We arrived at Mr C’s house prepared to lug a heavy sofa bed out of the back room, wondering how we would get it through the doorways. After moving some of the bedding and laundry that had been stored on it we realised that as there was no heavy mechanism inside we would hopefully manage without too much of a struggle. The sofa was also not to deep so, after removing the legs it didn’t take us long to manoeuvre it through the living room doorway, out of the front door and into the garage. There was not much room in the garage but we managed to stand it in one end and it fit it safely. Mr C’s wife was pleased that there is now room for a hospital bed to be installed so that Mr C can return home from hospital.
