I really need one of these

I really hate lawns. In an effort to spruce up the back garden we have been scratching around with the "lawn". Why do we have to have one? The moss is clearly winning, so why all the anguish about inadequate grass?

Our garden slopes quite a bit, so regular mowing is just so much faffing about. I really fancy installing one of the grass-munchers as shown, that way we could be in for some cheese as a by-product. The dangers to laundry and our other plants are only too apparent, sadly.

Sunny days

Now and again, the sun breaks through and it pays to get out of doors. This past weekend to the capital, where happy crowds on the South Bank, and the Africa Remix exhibition kept us amused.



Last weekend to friends in North Wales, and a healthy scramble up the north face of Tryfan.
