My mission this morning to help Ms C in her garden ticked all the boxes.

Firstly, there was time for me to do a parkrun beforehand for the first time in ages.

Secondly, Ms C had lined up a treat of a task for me, allowing me loose with a pressure washer to jet wash her paving slabs.

Thirdly, she served up a lovely cup of coffee and a range of fabulous biscuits.

Fourthly, she shared some great cooking tips with me.

And lastly, her delight and seeing the area safer for her to use told me all I needed to know about the impact of the task.

An all round great experience.
