My friend's lawn, half done - the mower overheated so here it is, taking a breather :)
Claire had a go at mowing too - a team effort. Look at that idyllic view she has from her garden. *Jealous!*I went off to take photos of her lovely cherry tree...
Then we wrestled to get the mower in my car (annoyingly scratching my painted plastic bumper - argh!). Got to the allotment and mowed the grass there. No rest for the wicked! Here is the 'before' photo...
...and the 'after'. Much improved, though it might not look it on these photos!
Hmm, not the best footwear to cut a lawn then an allotment in! sorry about the feet photo!!
I've taken lots of 'what's growing' photos as I've been meaning to do it for ages. I have put them on flickr but will blog about them asap here. Just one before I sign off, for Jo at The Good Life...

Thanks Steph. Looking good :-)
Your friends cherry tree looks better than mine. I bought a dwarf Stella last year and I've planted it in a half barrel. It's managed to produce one cherry!
Doesn't the allotment look much neater once the grass is cut. I don't have a petrol mower or strimmer so we have to do it with shears at the moment. It's hard work I can tell you!
With shears?!?! Are you crazy?! Must be a real chore doing it that way but needs must, I suppose. Her cherry tree is huge and covered in cherries. She's not been there too long so has no idea if they are edible or not. To be honest, it looks like the birds are leaving them alone so I am guessing not. I need to get to the aubergine flowers with a paintbrush this weekend. A tip from your blog commenters I think. :)
