Sounds of a Sunday morning

A young couple near me have just moved in to their new home. I was very pleased to see them removing the artificial lawn and replacing with turf.

We have a family of hedgehogs who live in our garden and all this fake grass and block paving is causing the wildlife to suffer.

Oops, posted too soon.
Not a fan of these lawns, I’ve not seen one yet that doesn’t look artificial. Anyway, I would miss the daisies , buttercups , clover and moss.

Artificial lawn are deadly for cats and dogs when the weather is hot.

Dread to think what my dogs and cat would do to an artificial lawn Rosiebee [ shock
Our commune doesn't allow grass cutting on a Sunday.

New sound - our neighbour hoovering his lawn! We are on a row of 6 houses, 3 of which now have artificial lawns. Our slightly scrubbby patch is covered with fallen leaves now. Some of which probably drifted across to neigbours. I love to see the changing seasons. A flat bright green lawn does nothing for me.
