Mrs R greeted us as we approached her balcony. She explained that she didnt have the energy to maintain her plants anymore and as a result of the recent heat wave a lot of them had died. In addition some gusty nights had meant that all sort of dead leaves and rubbish had blown onto her balcony. We offered to help out by unpotting dead plants and giving the patio a good tidy. Her son will come down this weekend and she's expecting him to bring a selection of exotic flowers to plant. The mission got a bit dusty at times but definitely worth it to meet such a lovely scottish lady.
