If it was so great, Ky could have been out mowing the lawn while Ben was away. She’s apparently obsessed with gardening but too precious to get the mower out? Perfect spring weather, but the kids must have been inside on iPads the entire time given how unusable the yard looked.
Surely even one of her exquisite, bird killing neighbours could have popped in and helped? We don’t live on a council estate like Ky and only have normal neighbours, but everyone helps each other out. The retired guy next door often pops around and does our lawn after he does his (and vice versa). The little old lady a few houses down has a constant rotation of neighbours helping.
