Hmm, a triked mower, now there's an idea! Yup, I'd like a long, uncluttered lawn sweeping down to the shed/workshop so I can spend Sunday mornings wandering up & down it with the mower, then snoozing in my hammock all afternoon. The cottage comes rent-free with Tazzie's job. It's not ours so we don't want to sink 1000s of pounds into it that we'll never get back, but obviously any work we do will be for our benefit. The house itself is erm...shambolic is probably the word. Got lots of potential but really needs completely gutting & starting again. If you don't fancy hacking down the jungle at the end of the garden, you're more than welcome to grab a paintbrush & start on the house! The regular Sunday morning Boxhill bike meet's only a few miles up the road & there's lots of great riding roads in the area, so obviously you'll all be very welcome to drop in anytime you're in the area.  |

Yup when we are home the back door will always be open  And Newlands corner is 1 mile away and the car park is always packed on nice weekends. |

I knew we should have bought the one off of fleabay. Oh well looks like a new line of builds coming up Shaun that explains the lack of grass at your house. We are thinking of possibly building 2 decks. One outside the back door and one on front of the shed at the end of the garden but that will have to wait for now but it would give me somewhere decent to then put my garden furnature rather than sitting on the grass rotting. I'm in West Clandon which is near Guildford if you want to see how far away I am from you. |

That's handy then Doc -you could bring that tractor seat along with you!  Didn't the Orange County Chopper idiots build a chop using a lawn mower engine? Hmm, Lots of Monkies, armed with chainsaws, strimmers & bush cutting equipment -maybe we should have St John's Ambulance on standby. |

Brill. So not only have I got to figure out a date but I've got to find parking for everyone. The local pub has a huge carpark so might have to put some of you there. |

Maybe we could sneak off to the pub & leave 'em all to it. On second thoughts, maybe not -we'd probably come back to find them heading off across the estate, hacking down everything in their path.  |
