Afternoon All,
after years of patiently waiting, ready to strike at the right moment, patience and preparation have paid off, and finally, the two building plots next to Chateau Benes are for sale, and I'm acquiring them for a reasonable price.
Buying the two building plots next to Chateau Benes achieves a few things, amongst others, it means that from that side, we'll never have neighbours on that side (existing neighbours are great, but the worry has always been what if a bigger dipstick buys the plots next to us), in terms of long term investments, it's hard to beat building plots, and finally, we'll get a bigger garden, about an acre bigger.
All good.
Next step is, the Benes mower is not for cutting an extra acre of garden (which it will be for the first few years until I install the Solar Panel Farm - ssh don't tell the neighbours about that), so I've got to look for something else.
A tractor mower would be fun and the safest most sensible option, and also the most expensive, the children could also cut the grass with a tractor and have fun, but the prices are not fun. My grandfather had an Allen Sythe http://www.oldlawnmowers.co.uk/ol-allen_scythe.jpg for his orchards and I am thinking about getting a modern second hand equivalent like SOLO 530 SICKLE Bar Mower - Rotary Mowers Find Rough Cutting Mowers Buy UK which I can get second hand for about 300quid which is about a tenth of the price of the cheapest tractor.
What do the experts think ?
