I met Alicia outside Ms Bs house and we climber the 49 steps to meet Ms B in her beautiful top floor flat.

Ms B took us outside onto the roof and explained how she used to have a beautiful roof garden that she had been growing for over 20 years but a few months ago she had gone into hospital and whilst she had been away painters had come and moved all the pots and plants into a pile.

Sadly the garden was now a mess but Ms B had a plan. Under Her instructions we moved each pot individually back to its original place. Ms B is a keen gardener and fan of Monty Don so she was able to teach us the names of all the plants as we went.

It was great fun and we chatted as we worked, after about and hour and a half we had the garden looking fantastic again as the sun came out.

Our final job was to carry Ms Bs window box back down to her kitchen and place it on the outside ledge of the window. The window felt like it was 1000 feet in the air and the thought of dropping a terracotta pot from that hight made both our palms sweat, but we got it in place and secured to the the ledge.

Ms B was very happy with what we had done and we were both very happy to have had such a nice Sunday morning gardening.
