Betty's - Home of the nanny brigade

We went to RHS Harlow Carr at the end of June to catch-up with two friends before they went "Stateside" for a month's holiday. Before venturing down to the gardens, we were to take lunch in the Betty's Restaurant. (Betty's makes me come over all Vict

Grumpy old women....

What with the dire weather, Fereday and I find that many of our "summer" evenings are ending with a hot cuppa in front of the idiot box rather than a restful hour in the garden while the sun sets with an investigating rabbit providing the requisite a

Nothing quite like parents....

This morning, we've had an email... It's headed "from me to you" and comes from Fereday's Dad (Fereday Snr).... now, from the heading, you'd be forgiven for thinking Fereday Snr is about to impart some age-old Fereday family wisdom... but you'd be wr

"Thanks Adam, an interesting counter-argument! 2 questions- 1) is this just the throttle-stop screw, and 2) are they then very noisy?  We do seem to have some very noise-averse customers!"

"I was tempted by the Weibang, but horrified by the weight!  Having seen Adam's comments, I'm tempted to look at the Cobra RM48SPH (this is mostly doing small-medium gardens).  What are other people's thoughts re this mower, or Cobra in general?"
