10th June 2009

This was the day we discovered that it actually rains here - though I guess the pond had given us a clue. At last we had the tools for the job and had big plans to mow the whole section and create enough mulch for all our new trees. We had just unloaded our new mower, aka Noddy's little car, and were all set to go when the rain came. This certainly made things much more difficult.


And the grass, gorse and blackberries were still growing apace and in desperate need of some pruning.

The rain got so heavy we decided to take some time out and collect a trailerful of compost but didn't realise the car would not make it back up the drive in the wet with a heavy load.

Well, it filled in a few hours in the rain.

Meanwhile the mowing was continuing, though it was very wet and I managed to get gorse prickles everywhere. But now we nearly have a front lawn (in the loosest possible sense of the word).
