I met Lindsay at Mrs D's house, for a return visit after Barbara and Lucy had started to tackle the overgrown garden a couple of weeks ago.

We met with Mrs D's son, who sorted us out with shears and a ladder and then showed us what needed doing (which didn't need much explanation, the hedges were huge!).

We got to work with the shears, giving the hedges a much needed reduction in height all the way around the house, which made everything look a lot tidier and lighter.

Christine (ladder loaner and coach runner to Mrs D) joined us towards the end of the task to provide a welcome extra pair of hands.

With 20 bags full of hedge cuttings, we were all done. We said our goodbyes to Mrs D's son, grabbed a selfie, and were off to enjoy the rest of the sunny bank holiday weekend.
