Mrs L has looked after her garden all her life. It has been a source of joy and pride. But since her husband passed away and various ailments, it needed some no nonsense Goodgym tlc to get it back to something Mrs L can access again.

Armed with loppers (excellent and can cut through anything bought on sale at Aldi or Lidl), strimmer, and a rake, I managed to clear some paving from overgrown grass, remove most of the weeds, and most importantly remove the self seeded trees that were becoming an issue. I managed to remove most of the roots from one of them too. I managed to fill the garden waste bin after squashing it down and made sure Mrs L was happy. 90 minutes very well spent.

We had a good chin wag over gardening, Scotland, Moss side "back in the day", and about married life. Mrs L seemed really pleased and hopefully will cheer her up now the garden is much more accessible.
