I live in a quite isolated beachside property and the wind on Saturday night caused some damage in my garden. Yesterday I was struggling to move some branches when two boys, about 15, called over the wall to offer to help. I gratefully accepted and within 20 mins there were 3 more. They proceeded to spend the next two hours helping me. By the end my garden was totally cleared of any damage. Apart from hot drinks and cake they refused any money/ reward and claimed they had fun! I would love to be able to tell their parents what a credit to them they are. I might put a notice on the board in the village post office!
