Share the love

What a lovely sunny day for a mission! Jaya and I were welcomed by Mrs B whose garden is their family’s pride and joy. Both Mrs B and her husband have issues with their mobility which stop them from tending to the garden as much as they would like - although it was still looking beautiful (see the pictures that Mrs B was happy to share). Some of the plants had been there when they moved in over 22 years ago but lots had been planted and carefully tended to by Mrs and Mr B so it was very important to them that we knew which ones needed to be pulled up and which were to keep. There wasn’t much time so Jaya worked in the front weeding and planting, while I worked in the back, weeding and tending to the plants that Mrs B could no longer reach. We chatted about gardening in India and a shared family interest in Cricket. When it was time to go Mrs and Mr B seemed very pleased with our work and expressed that they would love to have more “runners” in the future. Mission accomplished :-)
