A day in the garden: help Gabriel in Nice

Gabriel, 84, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Nice
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Nice for 20 years. After the storm in April, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a heart condition. The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
