Wow, you guys are cutting grass already? I’m probably 2 months away yet
I just hope it’s better this summer than last. From may to October I was cutting grass every 3 days. At 4.5 hours per cut. Usually only like that until June. Then drought and dead burnt grass until September. But my lawn never looked better.
Yes , I’ve split mine into 2 days now as well. 2 hrs on the riding mower and 2 or 3 hours on the tractor. I got in on a tree planting program through the government and had a couple thousand saplings planted. Have to keep the grass cut around them for my part of the bargain. A lot of work but it saves me 6000 bucks a year in property taxes
Does Mash still offer them for sale Ties?

Definitely. Otherwise I’d just run the little buggers over with the mower
there are quite a few tree programs here. My Land is now classified as a managed forest, so I pay farm taxes instead of residential. Dropped them from 10000 to 3300.
and set off on a bit of a shakedown first Jeep ride of 2024. Part way round I pulled into a quiet spot for this quick photo. A chum happened to be passing and stopped for a quick chat which ended up lasting half an hour. Got back home a short while later just a tad chilly around the edges.
Brilliantly well done!My geography master would say the UK does not have climate, it has weather.
So, mowing done I needed to pick up a few provisions from the local shop in the village so as the weather was still dry I thought it was a good excuse to get the Jeep out of hibernation. I dumped the tanker, left my wellies on and grabbed my ELC B15 (I beg forgiveness for it not being a GW)

I’m jealous. Can’t wait for it to green up, wash away the road salt and get the Land Rover (and other things) out.My geography master would say the UK does not have climate, it has weather.

Exactly like my Land Rover. Bought new in 1960 in California. I brought it up here in 2008. Never seen salt and won’t as long as I have it. Between the salt and the aluminum body on a steel frame, series 2 are all but extinct here.
Exactly, they have earned a bit of respect in their old age. I know we've talked about it previously, I'm very familiar with Series LR's, Defender's and other LR products.
I love it. Always been the quintessential Land Rover to me. Same model year as me but better cared for and subsequently in better shape then I am.
I do some mild off roading as we have some nice un maintained roads and trails nearby. But only when it’s dry. While I have had in the mud once or twice I don’t anymore. There are so many nooks and crannies, washing it Properly is a big dirty task.
Love it Burt, and the reason I trimmed the beard was because of a little accident with my wood stove and a flame that decided to burn half of it off as well as my arm hair,lol
