The lovely Mr R needed someone to tackle an unruly buddlia from next door, which had been creeping through (and breaking) the fence. With a pair of secateurs, the offending plant was taken care of, along with another bush further down that had followed suit. Next some of the weeds were tackled, to tidy up the garden but not make it too bare. Mr R explained how the house had been in his family for 4 generations, and clearly important to him. Next up was the front garden, cutting back the hydrangea which had become overgrown, and a start on the weeding. After a couple of hours, more time was needed, so a further trip tomorrow will finish the job.
