An indoor decluttering mission sounded ideal on such a warm day. After being outside under the hot sun for their first 2 tasks of the day, Kash and Sevan were looking forward to this one. When they met Mr C's carer, he led them inside, past piles of clutter, then out to the back garden. This wasn't what Kash and Sevan were expecting. For Mr C's carer though, clearing the patio was priority number 1.

The garden had been cared for recently and had plenty of beautiful plants that had become overgrown. The pots that were sitting on the patio were to be moved to the back of the garden to make space for seating and a table during the summer. No one could see down the garden path and Mr C's carer admitted to not having been there for months, so some chopping tools were requested and Kash went an adventure to discover what lay at the end of the garden.

Once the the path was cleared and Kash had found some spots to move pots to, a plant chain was created. Mr C's carer lifted the pots up off the patio and handed them to Sevan. Sevan made his way down the uneven stairs and passed the pots on to Kash. Kash then slalomed her way along the garden path and found a safe space to drop the pots off.

Once the pots were moved, it was time to explore the other items on the patio and to work out what to get rid of. Kash, Sevan and the carer found:

• 3 metal tables with terminally rusty tops or legs
• Pieces of a bird feeding platform with no instructions
• A half-full box of clementines from last December in various states of decay, though 2 still looked perfectly orange
• Plastic containers, some cracked, most filled with water
• Broken bits of pots

Each item was examined by the carer and separated into plastic, general or "iron" black bags. The bags were left at one side of the patio for later disposal and the pots at the back of the garden were for future re-discovery. As Kash and Sevan left, they looked at the belongings indoors and could see more missions for Mr C coming soon. The saving grace was that patio was in a better state and was one step closer to allowing Mr C to use it again.
