Leaf Blowers

What's all that noise? Oh it's the lesser spotted Glendale. The first sighting this year. Why use a broom or rake when you can swing a toy like a machine gun?

  1. I heard it too. I thought that it was the first grass cutting of the year and took it as a sign that spring was bounding back. I should have looked out of the window.

  3. Aren't they called Greenscene? I just read something that said Greenscene are the Council's grounds maintenance contractor? Are they the same as Glendales?

  4. First grass cutting was today, at least on Evelyn estate! I watched as one of the operatives took great care to manoeuvre around the rubbish on the grass, which they are supposed to pick off first...! Plus ca change!

  5. And today I noticed a Glendale flat-bed truck parked on the off-road cyclepath outside Farrer house - maybe it's the green tarmac that attracts them. New season, old habits...
