Summer nights
It's a normal scene seeing something like this on the way home from work over Summer. It normally doesn't get dark here until around 9.30pm-ish. In the Winter though the darkness starts to come through about 6.30-ish and that's when it's a dry cold mixed with black skies. I must admit Winters are much easier to deal with here as the cold isn't damp - it's actually manageable compared to Northland.
The garden maintenance company I contacted never came by so B hired a trailer from a nearby rental place and we all spent a few hours hauling all the leftover branches and dead agapanthus plants we had pulled out into it. Luckily the local rubbish dump doesn't charge for green waste so we were able to take it there. Unfortunately our ride on lawn mower needs repairs done to it and my son has hurt his wrist so I pushed the lawnmower around for about an hour and managed to get the section tidy again.

You did a great job. Must be pleasing to look out at the clean yard and lawn now .
Mind you a ride on mower would be so much easier....and fun?
