"On Wednesday, I arrived at Mrs J’s to begin clearing and cutting back the overgrown weeds, bushes, and plants. The garden had become quite unruly, so I knew it wouldn’t be finished in one visit. I started by clearing the centre of the garden to make the rest of the work more accessible. One of Mrs J’s neighbours kindly popped over to check that she was okay and to confirm that I was legitimate, as she had unfortunately been overcharged for poor work in the past. It was reassuring to see neighbours looking out for one another. The work was hot and sweaty, and I made some good progress and plan to complete the job on my next visit."
