Clear storm damage from Christo's garden in Stellenbosch

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

Stellenbosch
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Stellenbosch for 42 years. After the storm in June, 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 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. Glad we found this place.

      Rooting for you, Christo. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

          So sorry you're going through this, Christo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Saint-Denis so I could bring a meal
