Here’s another extract from a book I bought in a charity shop in the summer…..
Besom’s Truism:
No matter how much dust you sweep under the carpet, you still can’t sweep leaves under the lawn.
Laws of Lawn Clearance:
1. Any lawn cleared thoroughly of course grass and moss will reveal an area of mud supporting deep-rooted plantains.
2. Mud patches never need mowing.
3. The cleared lawn reveals that there was no cultivated grass in the first place.
Digital Law:
Flymos like toes.
