The joys of living with gum trees

Covid-19 hasn't stopped the lawns from growing. The downside of the gumtrees' beautiful bark is that it has to fall - on our lawn. Lawnmowers don't like it much so it provides the opportunity for a bit more exercise.

The extra photo is of my dear old friend and neighbour, Tilly. She cam to watch me work but was not at all impressed at having to practice social distancing.
