Default Damp, wet and shaded (in the winter) lawn: help!

Hi Everyone,

I'm not a very good gardener - so forgive my ignorance please - though
I'm trying hard to learn! The main problem I have at the moment is my
lawn. I live in the South East of England and last Spring I re-turfed
the lawn. The soil looks healthy and chalkly and the turf rooted well.
However, as usual, winter means that the garden becomes a bit of a
nightmare. Due to hedges, trees and the neighbour's extension, very
little sun falls on my garden. The result is it becomes sodden and
muddy. While I am hopeful that come the warmer weather and the longer
days the grass will improve, is there anything that I should be doing
now to help it on its way?

Thanks,

Stewart
