Tsitsi and I managed to get our steps in from our respective start points to get to the task of trimming the tree for Mrs B. Both of us grateful to take a short break from the working week and enjoy, as Tsitsi called it, a "bright and breezy, perfect day for a mission".

We were very warmly welcomed. Our task was to tidy up some of the overhanging branches to support less leaves on the ground and better light. After some guidance, we assessed the tree and considered the best plan.

Tsitsi took the lead on trimming and I tidied (even more steps got in today with little trips to and from the green bin). Tsitsi did a fantastic job of giving the tree a little makeover and Mrs B was very pleased with the result.
