Despite sticking to just the front of the park, we managed to fill a whole bag in half an hour - in large part, thanks to the enthusiastic supervision of Indie, the beautiful labrador!

We were very surprised to see a bush draped in a huge white web, which was probably the work of gorgeous ermine moth caterpillars.

... roses, honeysuckle and rosemary all smelled very sweet in Ms V's garden, making the gardening mission very pleasant indeed.

I managed to clear the plants on either side of the path to about halfway down the garden, and dead-headed the pretty rambling roses so that hopefully they will bloom again outside Ms V's back door.
