Default Mower update

Most of you will recall that a month ago I posted complaining that my mower
at the lottie had gone from the shed.

Well, last week my plot partner texted me to say that it was back! She had
arrived to find it parked under some plastic we have put down on an area we
currently don't have under cultivation.

I've not been down the lottie for a couple of weeks due to a chest
infection, but yesterday, despite still wheezing like a leaky set of
bagpipes, I went to pick some raspberries and to have a look at the mower.

Apart from the fact that the handle has been dismantled, it has come back in
better condition then it went! It has been thoroughly cleaned, the blades
sharpened and repainted! Now I can only think of two reasons for this.
Either I have a gardening Fairy Godmother, or it had been destined for a
boot sale, but all the ranting I, my plot partner and a couple of friends
have been doing prompted a second thought on someone's behalf.

I know which scenario I think is most likely ...
