Patrick, Beth, Yurena, Kevin and David went to hack weeds down near Hackney Downs on a glorious September morning. As the sun shone, we set about the two sides of Mr. S's garden.

Privet secateur workers Kevin and Patrick focused on the front garden, while Beth, Yurena and David sorted out the back. Kevin put his topiary skills to the test and gave us his best hedge shearin' impression, before the lawn also got a trim. A judge from the Guinness Book of Records was on standby to ratify Patrick's unprecedented twenty-seventh good deed of the month.
