So with the strimmer unable to strim out came the scythe. Of course we looked at the helpful (and often hilarious) 'how the scythe' videos on YouTube later that night after a few drams (which might explain the hilarity). Anyway - it turns out the scythe is a pretty effective beast - it's better where the grass is longer so it has something to grip - and on our uneven molehill ridden lawns it can be a bit tricky - but nonetheless a pretty respectable job - and a whole lot more pleasant than strimming - especially when Rebecca does it for you.
Ailsa took the piccies - so the safety goggles I'd been wearing while strimming still had a use to get that ye olde country oooh aarrr look.
