I chose the pun because I was near Crosby beach, home to the Anthony Gormley statues called Another Place but also I spent most of this session putting things in another place! Mr and Mrs P were frustrated that they had so much they wanted to do in their garden. I could tell from first sight that they really loved spending time there as at first sight I was at a loss as to what to do because it looked immaculate; a beautifully kept lawn, beautiful bushes and shrubs and a stunning water feature in the centre. Mrs P said she’d like the shrubs tidied on the right hand side and the weeds removed from the paving in the back and front but Mr P, who stayed with me, had other ideas. He had a multitude of pot plants on a shelf in his shed that he wanted taken out and put across the other side of the garden on the patio. There were lots of Aloe Vera, such a prolific plant, I nearly named this report ‘Ello ‘ello aloe. I said I had loads of Aloe Vera in my house that thrived in the shade so we found a shady spot for these plants. Mr P was suprised how many pots there were in the shed as I made about 12 trips back and forth with the plants. I weeded the gravel around a stone feature on the patio and then Mr P got me looking through his lock ups behind the shed for hoses which turned into a deep dive of what exactly was in the lock ups. I unpacked everything and then we sorted through what should stay out, what was rubbish and what could go back in. I placed all the items that we’d taken out either in his shed or stacked up in front of the shed. Mrs P asked if I could sweep under the table before I left, I had to oblige as her wishes had largely gone unfulfilled. I said that I would return to tackle those weeds on the patio and out the front and also have a go at weeding the shrubs next time.

Mr P's wife was very complimentary about your work on the phone! I have relisted this mission 🙂
