We had perfect weather for the task at hand, Ms D had managed to make some good progress on clearing her garden, but her health meant she had to stop, that's where we stepped in.

We got straight to work, hauling palm leaves and trunks into bags ready for collection. We made light work of it, finishing in half an hour, so Josie suggested we clear up the rest of the garden.

We got back to work and discovered a pond, straighten some paving to reduce the trip hasard and pulled a lot of broken tiles out of the soil.

Ms D was so grateful for our help, she told us lots of stories of her time at the house, and how the garden had got so overgrown because she had been at her daughter's isolating from covid. It was a delight to be able to help her out, and give her the space to enjoy her garden once again, with summer just around the corner.
