Clear storm damage from Carol's garden in Edinburgh

Garden rescue day in Edinburgh: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Edinburgh for 27 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 my hip replacement. 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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Good luck, Carol. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

      wishing you the best, Carol. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

              Good luck, Carol. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Poitiers.
