Looking forward to the scent of new-mown grass

When we first moved here the question my husband was asked most frequently was "Are you going to get a ride-on lawnmower?". (It was mainly men asking this, I have to say). Tempting as it was, we've finally settled on a self-propelled petrol mower, with a roller to give those traditional stripes, which will hopefully arrive tomorrow. Weather-permitting the grass will get its first cut this weekend.
