but can't remember if i should rake now before the first cut of this
season. Can someone advise me please ?
Thanks.

Spring raking is not usually necessary unless you have a lot of winter
leaf fall or other stuff on the surface which might affect the mower.

If it is a petrol mower which has stood for several months, the fuel in
the tank could have deteriorated and give starting problems.

I raked this morning (didn't see your posting till Saturday PM), got a
lot of dead stuff up and moss so it was worth doing. I also oiled and
cleaned my trusty manual mower which seems to give a better overall cut
and quicker too than my neighbours electric.
