I used to love mowing the lawn round and round because I was aware of 8 floors of neighbours looking down on it. Making patterns in the lawn was fun.

Sacha says...
I've seen another article, some time ago, about a man who makes patterns on grass that has the dew on it. That really is a work of love because it's so ephemeral. I wonder if anyone makes a permanent pattern in lawns by using sewing different varieties of grass seed? Just a subtle difference in the shade of green and you have a lasting art work. I've never seen or heard of this anywhere. I'm a bit surprised that (historically) rich owners of old stately gardens missed the opportunity to have their coat of arms etc emblazoned into the grass. -- David in Normandy.

Well, as everything was cut by hand with men bearing scythes and sickles and donkeys wearing special shoes pulled the rollers, I don't think the armorial pattern would have lasted long! Instead they put them on their gates and pillars, and pediments and coaches and silver and cutlery and china and furniture and writing paper. There must be something I've forgotten! But this reminds me that when we stayed at a lovely hotel on Exmoor a couple of weeks ago, someone had once planted the name 'Ashwick' in daffodils on a bank beside the drive. It needs re-planting because the 'A' has disappeared but it's a rather sweet idea. Did you get to see Snowdrop Valley near Wheddon Cross? -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
