You will recall that John is rather intrepid with his ride on lawn mower at Struan Farm. He's taken to mowing the Pet Paddock along our roadside frontage. It now looks beautiful, "park like," given our significant, specimen trees, so this is something he will continue to do even though it takes him hours.
In the past week he decided to tackle "the bowl" in front of our new house. It's an amphitheater really, we joke about having concerts one day where people can sit out on blankets with picnics and enjoy music, looking out on the trees and the rolling green hills. "Concerts in the Paddock," the Piopio equivalent of Rhythm & Vines. There's a singer named Tami Neilson we both like, we've mused about tracking her down to see if she'd give the inaugural concert a go.
Only trouble now is that I'm not so sure John has been joking!
