The first cut is the sweetest....

For the first time today it's been possible to walk across the lawn as opposed to wade! With a drying wind and no rain forecast, I got the mower out and gave the grass two passes. What a fantastic (if stupidly smug) feeling is engendered when you get in the first cut of the year!

Now if it would only stop blowing a gale / raining for the rest of the week I might actually get out and do some birding without feeling guilty! Watch this space...
