On a scorcher of a Saturday me, Will and Patrick took a trip to East London where we were welcomed by the lovely Rachel. Her opening gambit was "Welcome to the Jungle" referring to her front garden, our job to give a good old tidy up.

Jobs included Patrick removing a over ground shrub and tidy up a bush, although Rachel requested that he trim it in a shape of a peacock Patrick managed to create a very tidy cube. Will was head of mowing and edging whilst I was left picking out those pesky weeds. All in all we were there for just over an hour and it was job done, Rachel was really pleased as it meant her garden was now manageable we also were very pleased so we treated ourselves to a well-earned post mission pint. Cracking day and cracking task, nice one team.
