It was dark and wet and Mr K thought I was mad to tackle his front garden with my wire brush and head torch but I said that I was looking forward to it! He asked me if I had swum the Channel and I thought he was alluding to the fact that I was dripping wet but he actually thought that I was someone, also called Miriam that had made the swim! Mr K showed me a photograph of how the front garden looked when he first had it done. It looked fantastic and I said I would try my best to get it looking tidy again. I brushed and scraped and I pruned the over grown bush. I got soaked and the brushing was particularly hard work. Mr K took pity on me and invited me in for a cup of tea. We had a lovely chat and Mr K showed me his school photo… in the photo was Paul McCartney and George Harrison!! I couldn’t believe it! I bid farewell to Mr K and said I would be back in the dry weather and in the daylight to get the rest of the moss scraped from the front and mow the grass in the back garden. I waited for the bus and ‘In My Life’, my favourite Beatles song was stuck in my head :)
