No more do I have to string 40 extension leads together to mow the lawn. Ah memories of Tyddyn desperately attempting just such a feat with our cheap as chips Argos mower (capable of cutting 4cm wide at a time), cutting that grass took the best part of 4 hours and you had to keep an eye out for passing cars in case you got dragged along by the power leads!

Now we have a 1/3 of an acre to mow (when I say we, that doesn’t normally extend to both actually doing the work, one usually supervises whilst supping wine) its bye bye Argos stalwart, hello F1 shiny self propelled petrol monster complete with Carlos Fandango Super Wide racing wheels and go faster stripes. According to Mrs Fogg I have to wait until the grass grows before I can now the lawn (not a euphemism honest guv). Still we did brighten the day for the ole codger at Q&B by asking his advice on what to buy, even though he was obviously more clueless than us.

This is the demon mower sat patiently waiting for grass.
