From wild and unruly to neat and tidy

When our friend Sue asked for help at her elderly mothers house we jumped into action

At the rear of the property there is a monster hedge and it was starting to get out of control

Looking along the line of houses at all the perfectly trimmed hedges I couldn’t stop at what had been requested and just do the inside and top so the rear of the hedge has now been done too.

It’s all looking far tidier and smart.

Please help if you can.

Mandy and Stuart are my regular customers as I help them get things sorted at the funny farm.

This weekend they had the most devastating setback as this storm destroyed all shelter for their rescue animals.

If you can help in any way, by donating or even if you have some materials they can use that you could donate that would be amazing

We are Mandy and Stuart, we struggled through life and eventually were able to buy a farmhouse… Oldmill Funny Farm needs your support for Oldmill Funny Farm

Another day another log pile to deal with, winter must be coming

This time I had to chop them first.

It doesn’t look like we made a big impact but thankfully that’s the worst of it pulled out and chopped or shredded.

And excitingly Christine had bought a new chipping machine.

We also took advantage of the lovely weather today and got all her lawns mowed. I suspect there is only one more cut needed this year.

There is work here for all year round and I’ll bet there is at yours too so if you’re looking for a pre winter tidy up or have jobs you want to tackle over winter get in touch now.

4 cubes of logs moved and stacked in Andy’s stick shed within an hour.

That’s why Toms OCD looks like he does in the picture he posted earlier this week 😆

Great to see the surprise and smile on Andy and Fiona’s faces when we finished the job.

Another corner of Susan’s garden rediscovered with some serious weeding, cutting back and edging

More pathways freshened up with some weeding and another bed made a start on

And most importantly to Susan was my daughter Maja spending over an hour moving and restacking a log pile in the woodshed ready for towards the end of winter.

Susan’s garden is looking better and better every visit and we will achieve our goal of going from wilderness to wonderful garden before winter.

That’s Mandy happy once again after this weeks visit.

I, with Julia’s help sprayed the weeds in the compound area that we cleared last week before tackling the roadside hedges to smarten the place up a bit

Meanwhile Tom and Maja got back onto strimming the laundry field more and cutting back the overgrowth before Julia and I came to assist.

There is lots more to achieve here but it’s a great feeling making big changes every time for this lovely couple

As a reward for their hard work our girls got to spend time with the chickens, Donkeys, Goats, Sheep and Horses while Tom and I ate cake, scones and the most amazing shortbread

Dropping one of our cars at the garage this week gave me the opportunity for a mid week extra visit to Susan for some ”light” weeding and mowing.

While I got to work mowing and then weeding a flower bed I set Tom the task of clearing the very overgrown area behind the greenhouse that nobody has been able to get to for years.

He took the challenge personally and made quick work of it before attacking the 7ft weeds growing through the fence from the garage next door. He did a great job I’m sure you will agree

Susan was delighted to see her biggest bed weeded and now I have a head start on my weekly Sunday visit.

It was a lovely end to the day to sit down with Susan and John, Tom and Oakley for a Chinese takeaway that we collected for them.

And yes, fitting a dishwasher does come under odd jobs

You could say Mandy is happy with what we achieved for her on Sunday.

Keep your eyes peeled for a post on this impressive transformation

02/10/2026

Well that was a transformation

Today I headed to Vicky and Mac’s to continue the cutting back.

The mission was to remove the gorse bushes and remove everything from the roadside of the fence.

Mission accomplished.

Tom and I wil be back in a few days to strim the edge to ensure we have everything cut as low as possible to make maintaining it as easy as possible

Thankyou to Richard, Henry and Tom for the help today. We make quite the team.

It’s always nice to work at Andy and Fiona’s. They are always so surprised and delighted with the progress

This time I took on the trees near the oil tank to allow preparations for the new tank base to start.

It’s amazing how much space opened up and how light the area became

Whilst I chopped away Tom made a start on trimming the hedges although he has a little more to do when someone is available to hold the ladder

I’m looking forward to being back to continue this project at the end of this week
