Going Grassy Green

"Nothing is more pleasant to the eye than green grass, finely shorn.

- Francis Bacon

This is me having mown most of our 1200-odd square metres of lawn - much of it knee-height. We've had so much rain and heat that it's all grown like crazy - and the rain has prevented me from mowing enough.

Thankfully today is beautiful, and out neighbours lent me a petrol-powered mower; there is no way our little electric jobby would have coped.
