I have cut the grass for the first time since last October. It was nearly up to my knees, but no longer. Not a beautifully smooth sward, but short.
I noticed this morning that the grass wasn't glistening with water and felt almost cuttable, so I reorganised my day so that my afternoon was free and as soon as I had had my post-prandial coffee and it hadn't started raining again, I got the mower out, adjusted the cutting blades up a bit, DH gave it its first start of the year and I was away.
The whole job took and hour and a half, but it is done and I am relaxing with a cup of tea. The smell is so glorious I feel like trying to bottle it -and selling it as a cure for corona virus-
Anyone else suffering from the tree pollen?
wait till friday 1st May for cheap fuel


. Ours wasn't too long. He hasn't cut the grass in our back garden yet, that garden is on a slope and with his pain issues too much for him in one day. He loves gardening! When we moved into our house 18 years ago, apart from 4ft high grass, there wasn't a single plant in it. He's spent a fortune on it since. It is a beautiful garden now though and I guess there are worse things he could have spent his money on
so I'm okay with that. It is lovely to sit out in in the Summer, whenever that comes! Elusive perfume freshly cut grass, perfumeries have been trying to reproduce the fragrance for years apparently. If you do manage to bottle it you could make a fortune but before you do can we all have a bottle each? [Grin]
