Are vertical grasses (big timber bamboos) better? We're all too small to tread on timber bamboos. I'm not sure I like the term re-wilding. Are we outside of wilderness or are we wild in the same way Boris Johnson's hair is wild? His hair stylist probably used a leaf blower. This comment is also pretty wild. Started with big bamboo and ended up with Boris' hair. BUT DID I USE A LEAFBLOWER ON MY COMMENT? WILL YOU? CAN YOU EVEN READ THIS OVER THE NOISE OF THE LEAFBLOWER?!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Woody sez:

"As I was walking, I saw a sign there,

And on the sign it said 'No Trespassing,'

But on the other side it didn't say nothing,

That side was made for you and me!"

O I was waiting for this. "The silence of the lawns" yes (they scream so silently when they're cut, in the language of pheromone)! I shouldn't write about the event of Hell here in this tiny box on this tiny keyboard, and also not yet as it's still eventing. Finally a book with too much reality (which is, let's face it, the only king of reality). Looking forward to more blog or whatever these things are called.

In my neighbourhood it isn't just the curse of the lawn, it is the total paving over of front gardens for cars and of the rest for decking and slabs. Me and my neighbour let it all go wild.
