The message
from "Carol Russell" contains
these words:



There was no mention of the
fact (unless I slept through that bit) that within a week or so the
grass would need cutting or of how that would be done.
Was a non-maintainable plan put into place briefly and just for the
cameras, I wonder.

Snap! I thought exactly the same thing. I was busy pottering and doing
other things so I missed the object of the exercise - "the flowery
mead".

I suppose one would only have to hand snip the grass in a very small
area around each plant before getting the mower out - and the area of
mead wasn't exactly huge. In Victorian times they had ample labour for
such things.


They did in fact go into the problem of grass growth at some length,

Ah well, that proves it. I did nod off!
