Long Grass

On my return from UK I rushed out to plant new trees and bushes and flowers and to cut the very long grass. Too long in fact.  It was also very wet so the mower stopped and refused to struggle on. I took it to be repaired, returned home and got out my electric strimmer. It too went on strike. I went back to the shop and bought a petrol strimmer. I cut as much as I physically could of the longest grass and planted some of my new additions. I couldn't wait to get the repaired mower back. I was delighted to find that it was still under guarantee. I was so excited. I was happier than if I'd bought a new car. What is it about gardening?  For years I rejoiced in the fact that I had no garden and now it has become my life. I have now cut the whole field and the three lawns and planted everything I brought back from England. I worked until I could hardly stand and had to forgo the Fest Noz and was almost too tired to eat.  But tomorrow there is a meal in the Salle de Fete so I shall probably eat enough for two days.
