Mr M has a lovely big garden in Stoke Newington, but needed a bit of help to get it nice and tidy. Frances and Bianca used a sunny (if slightly humid) bank holiday Monday to give him a hand.

Frances got to work with the strimmer, cutting the grass on the lawn. The grass was quite long so it took a little while to give it a good going over, but it definitely looked a lot neater by the end.

Menawhile, Bianca cleared weeds and rubbish from the section by the wall, clearing some space so that Mr M will be able to lay down some paving slabs.

After 90 minutes we’d made some great progress and headed off to enjoy the rest of the bank holiday.
