Unlike many Birthday girls who receive presents on their special day, Kate provided her presence for others, by helping to do yet another good deed on her birthday! Such fantastic dedication!!

We arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed from our morning Kingston Parkrun (where Kate got a BPB (Birthday Personal Best!)). We were met by a lovely garden filled with many other bright eyes and bushy tails in the form of some very merry meerkats! There were pirate meerkats, military meerkats, professor meerkats and fire meerkats! They all kept a keen eye on us to meerkat sure we didn’t misbehave!

Unlike previous missions this garden was far from a jungle, with lovely paving and raised beds and we were worried that we couldn’t make much of a noticeable difference, but we set to work on the leaves which had rudely invaded the garden and before long the black bin bag was filling up as we were keen to leaf it clean and tidy.

Before we finished we were lucky enough to see Mrs P who thanked us for our work and even requested a weekly visit to do more odd jobs! We took that as a compliment of a good job well done and we headed home for cake and ice cream and birthday celebrations.
