Marta and I arrived in an April shower. But we were soon outside in the back garden with Mrs M in the next spell of warm sunshine . Previously 2 runners had made a good job of starting to clear a steep bank at the top of the garden of leaves and brambles. Marta and I continued this task and helped Mrs M to fill 8 black bags! Mrs M stayed with us and I think enjoyed our company and the chat while assisting with the task. We finished off our time by digging out some of the stubborn bramble roots on the steep bank.
