*Summer washout *

With the drizzle coming down even before we arrived it was like a ray of sunshine to see Margaret standing eagerly awaiting us. A drop of rain doesn't stop her ! In fact she didn't seem to notice. Margaret had asked to pop back to help her with the final phase of the garden that she had started when she first moved into the home last August.

Having moved from her own beautiful garden it took Margaret a while to settle in but having this new garden to transform has really helped her feel happier together with it being a huge benefit to the other residents and staff too. She brought loads of cuttings from her own garden and filled up the new borders with beautiful perennials. So very talented !

Roxy, Barbara and I carried out Margaret's requests to weed and prune the bits she found tricky to do herself. 40 minutes later, and much to her delight we were all done and she proudly invited us into the conservatory for refreshments and a natter!

A real feel good task tonight ! We will return next year ( if not before) to give our favourite resident another hand.

I love the concept of getting physically and mentally fit whilst combining it with helping others. I run most days.
