Yesterday I took delivery of an inherited, 1970s well-cared-for cylinder mower.
Today was sunny, warm and dry. At lunchtime, as I’m currently working from home, I cut my lawn.
I was so in awe of the fucking stripes that sexy 70s motorised machine made that I opened a bottle of cold cider and sat in the middle of my pristine lawn, deeply inhaled the pungent, fresh-cut fragrance and toasted the glory I beheld and the man who left me that amazing machine.

- My dad's had a basket attached to the back that collected the grass. It was easier to see when it was full than regular mowers.CyBrainX
- @Mono, any time bud. My garden has been a sanctuary over the last few years trying to create an oasis in the heart of the city. Its VERY relaxing and rewarding.Morning_star
