One man went to mow...

Next step in taming the allotment - mowing the meadow which has grown around the raspberries. Unfortunately I don't have a 1-mile extension chord for the lawn mower, so had to go shopping. Fortunately Focus had a petrol strimmer with 20% off, which because I bought it today had a further 15% off (bargain) - mostly paid for by my 2am call out last night (boo hiss!)

So one hour or so of two-stroke buzz later the meadow is largely gone but the raspberries remain. Useful for clearing the paths up there too, and much more potent than the old electric strimmer we had. Now planting should be much more straightforward!
