A scythe in time


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.
