A day in the garden: help Océane in Bordeaux
Océane, 92, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇫🇷 Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France333 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Bordeaux for 25 years. After the storm in September, 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.
