So no Wimbledon turf for me this year - but does anyone know a really hardy / quick growing grass seed (indestructible) that can survive my problems - so long as the lawn is tough and green - that will do me for now.

Do you have a septic problem? Seems like the dry ground is draining to the low ground, hence water is collecting. No simple solution. Ever think about cutting and filling the soil to level off the area or can you drain the area that is collecting water off to a lower point, but not into your neighbors yard? There has to be a reason why the water is collecting, besides poor drainage. Where is the water coming from? That is where you should start. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Do you have weeping willows across the pond? They will suck up water.
