Report written by Jacqueline Francis (she/her)
This was a really nearby mission to clear Mr R's garden so he could get outside safely and soak up the rays. I was so pleased to be heading off to a mission so close to home that I got a little mixed up and went the wrong way! How that was even possible just four streets from my home, who knows. The garden was very overgrown and looked in need of a good weeding and cutting back. Mr R's brother and sister-in-law (Dream Team) explained what needed to be done, handed me the tools and I got stuck in. I felt a real sense of achievement when I eventually unearthed a brick border and finally could see all the paving. Mr R's Dream Team came and helped me stuff EIGHT black bags full of garden waste. Mr R was super chuffed that he was now able to walk outside without fear of tripping up. Then we all patted each other on the back (virtually) and wished each other a happy afternoon.
