I had my hair done before this mission which was stupid because I ended up a brambly sweaty mess! Mr C’s house was really big, a lot to manage but the garden was tiny. It was overgrown with brambles so I got my gloves on and my secateurs out and got cracking. I’ve done a job like this before, the brambles are going mad this year. My hands got soaked pricked loads by the thorns on the brambles. I know from the other job like this that it doesn’t hurt that much now but over the next few days I’ll feel like I’ve been pricked like a pin cushion! Mr C said that his health was declining and he tried to help but I told him to take it easy. The neighbour popped her head in and offered a tub of industrial weed killer. Just over an hour into the job it started raining so I called it a day. I think I achieved quite a lot in the time but happy to go back again and do more.
