Two GoodGym Yorkies cycled 10 miles to help Mrs E with her garden

Craig had a slightly eventful journey when a bee flew into his mouth and stung him on the lip. When I arrived, Mrs E was already looking after him with a magical bicarbonate of soda potion to sooth and help with the swelling.

Our job was to clear a flowerbed of ground elder - a weed that deserves some respect. Although it was easy to pull up, any trace of the roots left behind means that it will come back.

Within 40 minutes, we had revealed the soil beneath the weeds and so bid farewell to Mrs E... though not before she forced some chocolate on us!
