Finished assembling these IKEA cabinets! 🔨😊

Did you know that flat-pack furniture assembly is one of the many jobs I can help with through Helping Hands Mersea?

If you’ve got furniture waiting to be built, but don’t have the time, I’m happy to help get it assembled and ready to use.

I’m based on Mersea Island and cover surrounding villages. I’m DBS checked and fully insured, and no job is too small. 💚

If you could only plant one tree in your UK garden, which one would it be and why? 🌳

Would you go for something with stunning spring blossom like a cherry tree? A brilliant splash of autumn colour like an acer? Or perhaps a tree packed with fruit or berries which is great for birds? 🪶

Drop your favorite tree in the comments below and tell me what makes it special to you! 👇

What a wonderful review left from a lovely client. What a smile this brought to my face. 😊

A lovely morning…

This morning I had the pleasure of helping a lovely elderly client who lives alone. Her eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be, so I spent some time helping her read things and use her phone and tablet. 📱

It was a small thing, but being able to make something a little easier and help her feel more confident using her technology was a pleasure.

Then it was time to visit Roger 🐱 — a very handsome cat!

I fed him, changed his water and, of course, gave him plenty of cuddles. In return, I was rewarded with lots of purrs. 🥰

Two very different visits, but both a lovely reminder of why I enjoy what I do.

Sometimes a helping hand is simply about making someone's day a little easier — whether that's a person or a much-loved pet. ❤️
