We had the best task of all at City farm this week - putting the animals to bed! We wrangled some very speedy chickens into their houses, plus some much calmer turkeys. Abbey the goat whisperer just looked at the girl goats and they obediently put themselves to bed. The boys were more challenging and it took the whole team to walk them on leads back to their barn! The last job was a quick clean of the pigpen, then some time for fuss and scratches for the pigs!

Philip and I helped Ms K by moving 2 sofas out of her back garden, to get them ready for pick-up. A very quick task to help someone in our community.

Three brothers living together asked us for help tending to their overgrown front garden.

While I had never used a lawnmower or a strimmer, it's never too late to learn, so I figured it out and managed to tame the jungle that was their front garden.

( I think one of them found it funny I was watching a YouTube video to figure out how to replace strimmer wire 😅 )

Happy to say they got their front garden tended, and I learned a few new skills!

i joined the friends of Portswood Rec to clean the local children's playground. The turf has become filthy with dust and debris, and it was a real workout getting it out.

We managed to do about a quarter of the park, but will continue next time!
