After embracing Christmas at Naomi House, Jules, Abby & I moved round the corner, where autumn felt like summer, to spend an hour weeding, pruning and removing rubbish from the North End street garden.

It was great to see how well the fruit trees, shrubs and flowers had become established. And Abby greeted like long-lost friends those that she'd planted in Spring!

As always, we received many Thank Yous from shoppers and had a natter with those using the bench.
