Fancy something different for the weekend?
Tomorrow a friend of ours, Phil Voice, sets off on his UK leg of his trip from Bergerac to John O'Groats in an Etesia ride-on lawn mower.
Mike and I will be in convoy with him in Wilf and Daisy when he gets off the ferry in Portsmouth.
If you fancy joining us take a look at http://www.hortaid.org.uk/the-route.html
Follow him on Twitter for amusing updates at #mowerthon and #lawnblog.
It's all for a good cause raising funds for Perennial. Perennial (Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society) are the national trade charity which provides free, confidential advice and support to everyone working in, or retired from working in, horticulture, and their families, including gardeners, landscapers, nursery and garden centre staff, parks and grounds care staff and tree surgeons.
