Title: Something smells
Post by: guest24 on April 18, 2008, 09:51:19 AM

Oh what a sweet smell assailed my nostrils on the way home last night as I trundled along Clarence Avenue SW4. Not the delicate wafts from a thrashed two-stroke burning silkolene. Not the intoxicating aroma of a glass of bombardier beer. Nay, it was the delicious heady smell of fresh mown grass. The first cut of the year. Sometimes I think I have never smelt it before as it so good. Then your mind wanders to a misspent youth and rolling around in the park on the fresh cut grass. I'll stop my reminisces there, I think!!

Anyone else like the smell of cut grass...?

Oh yes ;D that and spring evening showers. Bit of a love for the scent and sight of those glorious yellow fields of Rapeseed too.

Aye, the grass was cut midweek there and looks really good. My dear wife gave it a light topping. Maybe a light de-thatching and some BF&B as a top dressing and we should be OK for the summer. Birds like the thatch to line their nests with.

Copulating grey squirrels are the 'annoyance' at present. Bit like chavs, no discretion and multiple positions, whilst hanging from branches and eating! I have baited cages awaiting their indiscretion.

Regards, Bill.

Talking of baiting squirrel traps, I wonder how many I will catch in September on my next bushcraft course...?!

Aye Pat,

Your a protected species with a 'Red Book' listing.

It's the pox virus which the greys carry yet does no harm that is the real problem. Kills reds in ~2 weeks with large expanding lesions on the appendages, genitals, outer and inner oral parts and around the eyes. There is no cure or vaccine and will take 10 years to develope at least.

One less in my garden after this morning.

Calm Pat.

Regards, Bill.
