Myself and Ivo had a lovely time with Mr P.

Though we both we were both travelling by bike from Bethnal Green, we were not organised enough to coordinate doing the journey together! When we arrived, Mr P had all the tools ready and showed us what needed to be done. The main task he wanted to focus on was cutting back the branches of his tree in the front garden.

Mr P gave me a masterclass in how to use a telescopic lopper, so I tackled the high up bits with that while Ivo went for the lower hanging branches with a garden sheers. As we finished up with the tree, the shining sun gave us the energy we needed to tackle some weeds afterwards and leave Mr P with a tidier looking front garden.

Unfortunately most of the photos we took reveal the address so I've just left some zoomed in pictures of the tree before and after.
