I guess like me your mum had a traditional marriage where the man does man things and the woman did woman things. I used to be so ashamed that I didn't know how to do things like that but now I can live with it. I remember sobbing the first time I tried to cut the grass with the big petrol mower-I just wasn't strong enough, then a neighbour showed me it had a throttle? and it propelled it'self I only needed to steer! Yet it was me who planted,designed and tended the gardens.Over the years I had made many gardens in new homes from scratch I just never did the lawns. I find a SOH overcomes most problems plus a nice little man who "does"
