Take one hunky Moroccan nephew-in-law, delicate (but deceptively strong) niece; add a chain saw, some loppers and some baskets, and I now have a flat garden when an apple tree stood, baskets of small apples (some eminently usable), a swept yard, and all spare wood logged and stacked - All in a day! Then Cat and I still had time to slope off to Goole to have a drool at a particular jewellery shop that she was interested in visiting.
In return I just had to keep them fed and watered.
