Sarah was first to arrive at tonight's task, having run from home and braved running past legions of Spurs supporters while wearing a red t-shirt.

Our destination was just past the stadium, a small supported housing block. We were met by Maria, who introduced us to the residents and explained that there was a tree in the garden blocking one resident's view.

Armed with a shears, secateurs and gloves Sarah and resident D assessed the situation. Those were some very tall branches, and even with a ladder we might not be able to remove them safely.

Sarah settled from cutting what she could down low, to thin the tree out a little.

Asan arrived and pitched in to help with some litter picking - unfortunately there are some rather unsavoury neighbours who throw things over the fence.

Having cleared the area of litter, Sarah and Asan were able to pile the cut branches under the trees in the corner of the garden. At least everything looked a lot neater than when they arrived.

Saying goodbye to D, Sarah reminded D that soon the trees would lose their leaves and he would be able to see through the branches after all!
