Something a bit different! One of my regular customers asked me to give her summer house a coat of paint. I spent some time on it each time I attended to do the garden. After today’s visit I think it’s almost done. 👍

Another section of the garden uncovered and reclaimed. An ongoing project but plenty of progress week on week 😎

Last week I did the front garden and started on the back today. Quite pleased with the result after 3 hours work. Back next week to continue ‘finding’ the customers garden 😎
