Júlia and Steve kicked off the day with a Parkrun in Highbury Fields before a quick coffee and a jog to Mrs M’s flat to help tidy her balcony.

And what a view! You could see every tower block and skyscraper for miles. Mrs M kept us entertained with stories and Steve over-caffeinated with a cuppa as we chatted a little before getting to work. Not a great deal to be done, but it’s swept and looking tidy after a little bit of rubbish was taken away. And more importantly Mrs M loved the company.

Back indoors in the warm flat, her cat Honey kept us entertained and we spoke about her time in Nigeria as a teacher, and how to pronounce Welsh towns and cities.

Being up so high, Mrs M has a pigeon issue she’d like to (peacefully) settle in the future, so maybe we’ll be back to install something to keep them off the ledge.
