Plot 2

Hopefully this weekend a rotavator will appear courtesy of Lee
and roar into action to finally get to grips with the overgrown
second plot.

Larry the lawn mower (don't ask) supplied by a friend a couple of weeks ago is still in the shed ready for it's first run on saturday.


Pics of smoke, petrol and machinery to follow shortly
