We have had the wettest April-June ever in England this year. Neither a push mower nor any other kind was any use to me when I came back from holiday, I had to use a strimmer to clear 7 sacks of grass off the lawns before the mower could be used.<br />There is so much detail in your second photo I could study it for ages.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-51696365587816494182012-06-30T07:13:08.470-04:002012-06-30T07:13:08.470-04:00Two great photos of lawn-mowers.

I really like the 2nd photo a lot because everyone is aware of being photographed, but indeed it is funny that the one guy has a lawn-mower. Except for that, it seems like a party.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-46358300513896126222012-06-30T04:35:57.695-04:002012-06-30T04:35:57.695-04:00It's interesting that the mower is in the 2nd ...It's interesting that the mower is in the 2nd pic given that it appears so formal.Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270783758226909749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-26828280529567923542012-06-30T04:13:12.170-04:002012-06-30T04:13:12.170-04:00Oh, those push mowers could be hard work.
