Eco mowing



We finally bought a motor mower after years of paying someone else to come in and 'do it'. I thought that if we actually went into the garden to mow we might start noticing what was going on there and take more interest in it, and maybe begin to tackle some of the work that needs to be done. So we did our research and bought an eco mower - electric, no cord and rechargeable battery. We were pretty excited by our first attempt as you can see. Our good friend Greg captured the launch event on his mobile, and then he had a go too.

When I lamented to another friend that things must be getting pretty weird in my life if I was excited at the prospect of using a lawn mower, she said "No, creative people like you who live in their heads need to go out and do something like this or your head will explode!". So, I take comfort in that. Maybe lawn mowing is addictive because Mark is already talking about getting 'out there' and getting into it again...
