The first cut is NOT the deepest
Yep with my freshly serviced mower I got in the first mow of the season. The grass was still a little boggy so I did leave rather a lot of tyre marks but the'll be gone in a week. The mower was purring like a kitten and going faster than before (one of the belts [...]

A mow at last
Pengy I finally mowed this afternoon, it had been a good 3 weeks since I did the back and the grass was so long that I had to cut it higher than usual. To mow the front and back took 1 1/2 hours – even with a ride on mower. First I have to clear [...]

I've been busy finishing up the last week of term and packing all my stuff up ready to start a new school next year. I've also been feeling ill still despite taking more iron tablets which are clearly having [...]
