Unfortunately Clo came down with the lurgey last night (get well soon Clo!) so Fi put out the call for a reserve to fill in on this mission. Dave stepped in and the mission was "go".

We met Mrs B and her daughter who were waiting for us and were quickly directed to the garden shed where we found 2 mowers to choose from and opted for the newer looking model and, despite the grass being a little long and wet, it worked a treat.

Also tasked with cutting back the overhanging tree/bush branches at the back of the garden, we knew this was a job for Fi, who's artistic trimming qualities are legendary in Bristol mission circles and, armed with a ladder, shears and secateurs she snipped and clipped, while I took on the grass. Ooh and Fi spotted a Bengal cat over the fence!

Whilst it was a cold morning, the garden was a real sun trap making our work a joy and, despite a couple of efforts to rain and sleet, we managed to get everything done and bagged in around 90 minutes before joining Mrs B and her daughter for a lovely cup of tea and a chat (and a bit of last night's The Voice).
