This afternoon Richard and I answered the call to give Mrs S a bit more help in her back garden which was completely overgrown with weeds, brambles and long grass.

We decided to tackle one half of the garden, using spades, shears and brute force to pull up the weeds and cut down the grass and brambles.

Halfway through Mrs S kindly provided us with a cup of tea and some egg rolls, to sustain us in our challenge.

Whilst there is more to do, Mrs S was delighted that we had at least made one half of the garden somewhat less overgrown.
