We could cable tie some flowers to your fence instead?

Deepest sympathy
looks like you have that old fashioned real grass $:-\$
if it gets wet (due to weather / rain) it grows and requires trimming in height

30 mins per week cutting grass x 32 weeks growing season = 16 hours work per year
(2 days work @ 8 hours )

FTFY

My pet hate, flowers wrapped in cellophane littering the countryside!

If people have to leave a floral tribute remove the plastic FFS and then the flowers will just rot away.

Exactly my way of thinking , which is why the wife cuts the grass

Absolutely fine weather here. 25°C, sunshine pure. October plays summer.

Do you have any British blood in you, Rolf? Your obsession with the weather is definitely an Anglo Saxon trait.

Trouble with that theory Stemo is that neither the Angles nor the Saxons were British

But they are now, surely?

BazaJT · « **Reply #14 on:** 13 October 2018, 20:59:13 »

Nah,they've only been here a few hundred years so they're still foreigners

Oh

Same Problem here. I was born in Bremen. North Sea. Living now deepdown southwest for 20 years. I am still a stranger, because of my language. Bremen guys speaks German. People here speaks "Badisch". Very strange.

Rolf is an honourary Englander!

Anglo Saxons come from Germany, Denmark and Northern Holland. Saxons come from Saxony Germany, which might give a clue on weather interest.

A Danish fella once said to me "My ancestors the Vikings raped and pillaged across England"

I replied "No, my ancestors raped and pillaged across England, yours stayed at home and looked after the women and goats!"

Rods2 · « **Reply #19 on:** 14 October 2018, 01:51:25 »

Viking raids with rape and pillaging form a major part of early English history and have left a permanent imprint on our DNA.
