Well, we've had it done, and are pleased with it. The lawn mower has gone as well as the scarifier, and the back aches, hopefully.
It is also our 55th wedding anniversary at the beginning of Sept, ? and a friend was asking whether it was a ' special' one, as in Ruby, Pearl etc. I didn't know, but looked it up, and lo and behold it is Emerald, and what have we got in our back garden, a beautiful 'emerald' lawn. Rather apt I thought. I could try and cut a small circle of grass as a ring, and wear it on holiday, perhaps not. ? Being of the waste not want not brigade, I have cut a semi circular mat to go on the outside step ?
