We have been talking about leaf blowers today & I was laughing as our front garden at the farm was surrounded by oak & ; Sycamore trees. Every autumn the leaves used to cover the whole area but I never moved one leaf...I thought good mulch. After we retired Harry bought a leaf blower & made hard work of using it every year...he never used to put hardly one foot in that garden all year round when he was milking cows!
Good photo of Ray doing what men do!!
@quietpurplehaze Yes thank you Hazel...a very different home but we have settled really well helped by the fact we know the area & lots if the neighbours! All helps!

The noise was absolutely amazing - but it did a good job. Hope you are settling in well, Pat.
