It was a two part mission for Girija, Lucia and me this afternoon - weeding the front garden and laying an artificial lawn in the back.

With three pairs of hands, the weeding was done in no time, although Mrs C did have to point out a few weeds we had missed (we thought they looked quite pretty!)

When Mrs C's daughter arrived she was able to direct us for the lawn laying. Girija and Lucia helped her while I ferried all the garden waste to the front.

The finished result was a lush green lawn - an unusual sight in London at the moment! Mrs C and her daughter were most pleased with our help.
