It’s fair to say that I knew my gardening was a little lax, but I didn’t realise just how bad until this week when I asked for a quote on mowing our lawn. We have a standard Australian garden with two lawns one relatively small and one slightly larger. I had expected to be given a set price. But no, my garden was so scruffy that the lawn mower man couldn’t give me a set price he had to quote me an hourly rate!

Despite that I have to admit that it is nice to see the footpath again.
