The worst thing about writing articles is how to begin, finding that slick one liner that hooks readers immediately and makes them want to carry on reading. I haven’t managed that knack yet but as I’m going to get lots and lots of practice over the coming weeks then it’s surely possible.
I guess for my first entry in the bookshop diaries, I should really discuss the bookshop as a whole but I’ve decided to leave that until another day. Instead I’m going to write about the book sub category gardening and gardens. Why is that you might say? Well for a couple of days last week Great Britain was bathing in the hot temperatures we commonly refer to as an Indian summer. It is so weird to see the sun in the UK, particularly in the north that an Indian summer is a sure God send and necessary for gardeners everywhere!
Normally at this time of year it’s raining regularly and as you all know mowing the grass when it’s wet is not a good idea. So as you can realise last week was a perfect time to get out there for the last time this year. I’m not an expert on gardening and gardens. I can just about cut the grass and plant a few bulbs and seeds, but that’s about it really and if you’re like me you either just plod along doing the same old things to your garden on a regular basis or you buy some books on gardening.
I don’t normally like to mow the grass in hot weather as I end up looking like a traffic light – ON RED!! Obviously I could hardly leave it until the day after as the weather in Britain is, as I’ve already mentioned, fairly wet. Despite the sun I went out to the garden and commenced the difficult task of mowing the grass when all of a sudden the mower went quiet and as you’ve probably guessed the garden was only partially cut – not a good look! I played around with the switch on the mower for a while getting more and more annoyed that I may have to buy a new one when all of a sudden it started up again. Oh the relief. I still have no idea what happened to it …
Anyway I finished off the mowing faster than I started because apart from a meat and potato pie cooking in the oven, which I was hungry to get stuck into, I wanted to get the gardening over and done with in case the mower decided to stop working again. I finished my gardening tasks by pulling out the weeds (of which there are many) and cleaning the lawnmower before I put it away until next year. Pleased it’s all over for this year and can now relax on the sofa with pie and mash! Delicious.
I have a medium sized garden which doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. I’m sure if I had the inclination I would try and create the ultimate garden by buying books on gardening ideas and tips.
