Here's what Mrs J of PO1 had to say about the mission:

Feedback from referrer: Thank you for all your hard work!

Mrs J of PO1, mission beneficiary

Tenuous title, but Abby doesn't like bay trees, and so she took great pleasure in giving the bay in Mrs O's garden a hard prune!

While much of the nation supported the Lionesses, we had a pleasant hour in Mrs O's sun-filled pretty garden, trimming back shrubs, as well as the bay, to give Mrs O better access.

The butterflies, bees and birds love Mrs O's garden too, and she told us about the names she gives them when they visit each day. She also gave me a quick lesson on taking cuttings and kindly provided a hydrangea cutting with guidance about how to bring it on.

A pleasant and satisfying hour's work.
