Don't have any grass in the garden here and I certainly don't miss it. My parents designed the garden as low maintenance because of their age and grass cutting was always one of my least favourite chores. At the old house one of my neighbours had his grass like a bowling green, even got a guy to come in several times a year to give it special treatments etc.
Weather has changed here. Still pottering in the garden at 7pm yesterday but today its cold and keeps trying to rain. Weather is on a downward spiral with sleet and snow forecast tomorrow afternoon and evening. One of the worst dumps of snow I remember was in the '80s, late March/early April. Railway almost ground to a halt, local freight was virtually suspended, instead we were running snow patrols all over the place, even had to go to Glasgow to get the big ploughs to try to keep various lines open.
