Into the Wilderness

So we continued with the boring expenditure on Friday, this time a new set of hedge trimmers which duly arrived at work on Monday afternoon.

So last night it was back out into the wilderness, well our front garden anyway to trim up the hedges in the front garden.

Whilst Liam was busy pruning away I had another go at cutting the lawn in the front garden, which considering it was only cut last week had grown beyond belief. We are hoping it is just the time of year and that it will settle down again into a more normal rate of growth in the next few weeks.

In all fairness we were probably a little bit early at cutting the privet as there really was not that much that was trimmed off. We have caught them just as they are budding but as the weather forecast looks a bit damp for next week we thought we had better jump in whilst we can and get them trimmed up before they start growing like mad.

Tonight we will man tools again and launch an attack on the back garden. Again the grass has grown stupidly long so that needs another quick cut, perhaps taking this down a cutting height from last weeks cut as well, as I did leave it quite long on the last cut. 

Thankfully the back garden doesn't take much looking after and in a little over an hour we should have it looking prim and proper again.
