A weedy back garden left by a couple of not-so-good builders created the ideal chat zone for Mel and Clo, who set about cladding the side that Mrs S wanted for her new border.

Carefully avoiding Mrs S washing on the line, and forced by Mrs S to take a tea break with bourbons, pecans and walnuts, we managed to upend some mahoosive weeds and loads of really fiddly ones. Mrs S has said she'll invite us back for her garden opening party!
