That's great Anita! I won't be there myself, but Harvey will be there to greet you and the others for this lovely task. have fun!
Yes Iād like to help the lady too in Hounslow who has an overgrown garden just off great west Road but Iām moving house at the weekend so it would be good to sign up for that next week she might be a bit scared if I went on my own to her as I look a bit like a man
Keep an eye out for future missions once you're settled - there are loads in the area that will have a big impact!
