You could, of course, simply mow away, leaves/grass and all.....

I'm guessing from the two jobs yorkie is making leaf mould for her garden.

I feel suitable put to shame!

Nothing so worthy I'm afraid!

I have a flymo lawnmower; it does have a grass box but doesn't cope very well with leaves too.

The leaves are generally horse chestnuts, they have waxy stems which make them awful to get to rot down even after a few years, and there's so many of them (a row of 60' trees on the boundaries of all the houses on my side of the street) I'd be overrun with bags of leaf mould.

Ah, I mow my horse chestnut leaves on the motability lawn mower. Almost all down now.

I have a baby horse chestnut to move this year but I quite want to put it some where a little naughty so might have to leave it another year . I cannot put it out with a rabbit guard on it where I want to put it, but fear it will get over run if its not protected.

I was thinking about brands . What happened to Saralee? They made frozen cakes didn't they? Do they still exist?

Also, the thing of different country thing. I'm trying to remember what walls icecream is in Italy but I cannot ATM.

Fir worked out he has three plus weeks of holiday entitlement. He's learned he's allowed to carry five days over, more in some circumstances which he might fulfill. Because of the amount he has left his Christmas leave has been given go ahead and he's added some on to it. That still leaves quite a bit. We're hoping to have thanksgiving this year, which would be so wonderful and mean a lot.

And may be a day or two sooner, if he can get it.

That's it, and good ness knows what else where, I'm more interested in fresh food or local manufacturers but walls came up fairly recently on a discussion about childhood icecream purchases from vans.

Did someone say procrastination? (Edit: meaning I probably shouldn't have been looking for that, not comment that anyone spends too much time on here!)
