When we all received details about this mission one message stood out..... Mrs M has several cats. Clawsome! After arriving on time for the "mission with the cats", we weren't disappointed, the star of the day was definitely Ginger, the outdoor cat with catitude, who patrolled these lands and kept us in check, especially Suzanna as this was her first mission.
We were greeted warmly and shown to the back garden which was a good size and definitely required four people to tackle it. We all jumped into action pulling out all the abundance of weeds (prizes to Anne for perhaps the biggest weed) and leaving any bulb like plants alone as there were some shoots showing. Smart gardening knowledge there from us.
The grass got a decent hair cut too with the lawn mower by moi, whilst I enjoyed that, Mrs M had then asked if the girls if they could wrestle with the front garden.
After meowing around, I asked Anne... "Is the front garden big?".
"No, but it has big things" she replied.
Oh paw-lease.....What could she mean?
Well there was a mountain of a Holly bush, a huge lavender plant and other plants and weeds which all required a deep trim of some sort.
With no time to waste, we didn't mess around especially Eva who showed some impressive trimming skills to the Holly bush, which now had a jaw dropping new look. Nice one Eva. We all took a chunk at it and the other plants too with a finishing touch of tidying up with a broom. Things all end well pawsitively with a broom.
We were treated to some tea, cake and digestive biscuits, where we were introduced to the indoor cats, that's three in total and probably more hiding around. Mrs M thanked us fur our time, we said bye for meow and we departed before it got dark.
