In return for their help I was able to offer them an enjoyable scrunch in the leaves before we started work. Scrunching our way through thick piles of brown leaves is, for all of us, one of life's simple pleasures.
It's certainly true that many paws make light work and my team of helpers were willing and able. It wasn't long before we could see grass again. The only problem we had was how to dispose of all the leaves we'd collected. I like to do as much composting as I can, but even so there are only so many leaves I can use. We've got two brown wheely bins for garden waste, but even these quickly filled up. Some of us did a lot of jumping up and down on the leaves to try and fit a few more in.
All in all, a good afternoon's work. It's a bit like the forth bridge though. We can still see leaves on the trees so we know we'll be doing it again in a week or two's time.
Lots of love, Tommy & the gardening gang xxx
