I have been A.W.O.L for a while with rain wind and two back to back storms causing havoc.
After a weekend af good dry weather I started once more to beat the garden into some sort of order.
On Monday morning I mowed and strimmed the front that was fairly easy thanks to my new mower which is a step up from the old one.
In the afternoon I took a look at the back.Both sides had gone too far for the mower so I strimmed the whole of the right hand side.
On Tuesday I reaped the rewards of my hard work and a quick whizz with the mower brought the right hand side to heel.
After a lunch break a surveyed the left hand side and nearly left it until Wednesday in the hope the promised heavy rain would miss us.
In the end I bit the bullet and strimmed it. This was really more than my back wanted but today in is fine again.#
On Wednesday the threatened rain came with a vengence with large parts of thhe county suffering from floods.we didn't dodge the bullet this tim as these snaps of my back garden show.

We've has some real downpours, interspersed with dryer weather. I missed the opportunity recently to cut the grass at the back of the house before several days of wet weather, when I did get the next chance I took it, but I was thrashing grass that had grown far too long. Same problem in other areas.
Now, only a few days later, I need the mower out again. I was hoping this would be a dry day, but by early afternoon it had rained again before the shorter areas had dried enough ...
Soil is very soft, almost waterlogged in places, which presents another problem (I need extra wide tyres on the heavy mower ...
Not looking forward to the next trim ...
