On a gloomyish Saturday morning, three runners set out to help out a local resident whose excellent garden had entered into the late summer need for a hackathon and general trim-back. Amongst the apple and pear trees were weeds and vines that needed attention. Out the front the hedges and bushes were ready for the annual cut back and so we went about our business.

The result was an almost naked front hedge, ready for the winter and next year's bloom and very tidy back garden. Our customer was very happy and demanded hugs and kisses all round. A great start to the weekend.
